What began as a federal sting operation in New York’s Chinatown quickly spiraled into chaos as ICE agents moved in on suspected counterfeit vendors during peak rush hour. Witnesses say the raid ignited fury among bystanders, with hundreds flooding the streets and chanting “ICE out of New York!” as tensions escalated. The operation led by Homeland Security targeted street sellers accused of trafficking counterfeit goods, including phone accessories and luxury knock-offs. But as arrests mounted, crowds swelled, surrounding federal officers and blocking vehicles in defiant protest. WATCH
