Immigration Agents on NYC’s Canal Street Confronted by Protesters
22nd October 2025
An immigration enforcement sweep targeting vendors on New York City’s famed Canal Street turned chaotic Tuesday afternoon, as bystanders and protesters confronted federal agents and tried to block their path.
Thus ‘obstructing justice’, which is a crime in every jurisdiction of which I am aware.
The confrontation between the agents and hundreds of angry New Yorkers took place along a busy commercial thoroughfare that has long been a hub of the city’s not-so-underground market for knock-off designer handbags, watches, perfumes, and sunglasses, as well as phones and other electronics.
So, it’s a hotbed of criminality.
An Associated Press reporter observed dozens of federal agents as they made one of a number of arrests in the area, detaining a street vendor who appeared to be selling bedazzled smartphone cases.
The reporter, a Tool of the Crust, no doubt attempted to portray the arrested street vendor as somebody just going about his normal life and suddenly being hassled FOR NO LEGITIMATE REASON by agents of ‘Trump’s totalitarian state’. That’s their Narrative, and they’re sticking to it.
