"Video shared by Abreu's office shows a man being wrestled into the unmarked vehicle in front of sacred and confused onlookers, including a young child. Show your faces! a crowd could be heard chanting at the agents, some of whom were masked, as they shoved the man into the car. amNewYork can confirm that at least one of the agents spotted in this latest incident was also involved in the now-infamous Oct. 21 Canal Street raid that saw street vendors targeted."
"This video of someone being ripped off the street in front of our neighbors is deeply disturbing, Abreu said. ICE and other federal agencies that are carrying out Trump's agenda of detaining people without due process have no place in our city. I condemn this despicable pattern of intimidation, and my office is working to find out more information on this morning's events. Please stay vigilant and look out for one other."
