Immigration Sweep on Canal Street Spurs Clashes

An immigration enforcement sweep on Manhattan's Canal Street erupted into confrontations Tuesday, as protesters surrounded federal agents after arrests in the area. Agents from ICE, Border Patrol and other federal offices pushed to clear the crowded block, at times shoving protesters and threatening pepper spray. DHS said the operation targeted counterfeit-goods sellers and reported at least one arrest for assaulting an officer. Additional agents in tactical gear arrived in a military vehicle; the FBI said agents were en route. Mayor Eric Adams said the city wasn't involved, while advocates accused the Trump administration of staging a 'violent spectacle'.
