In recent events, New York City has seen significant turmoil following a series of ICE raids targeting street vendors on Canal Street, which allegedly resulted in the arrests of several US citizens alongside numerous immigrants. New York Attorney General Letitia James has launched a public portal for residents to submit photos and videos of ICE activities, amidst rising fear and anger in the community. Protests erupted as vendors reported harassment and demanded to see documentation during the raids, which many officials have condemned as an abuse of federal power. The operation has drawn mixed reactions, with some claiming it addresses illegal activity, while others are concerned about the impact on immigrant communities. Congressional representatives have pledged to respond to the chaos and upheaval caused by the federal action.
