PHOTOS: US arrests nine illegal immigrants from Africa during raid of NYC’s Chinatown
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have a crew of dangerous illegal migrants, including Senegalese outlaws with lengthy rap sheets for drug trafficking, robbery, domestic violence, and assaults on cops.
Federal agents descended on the long-troubled Chinatown strip on Canal Street between Lafayette and Centre Streets on Tuesday, October 20, rounding up illegal vendors who peddle knockoff designer bags and stolen goods.
Nine migrants, the majority of whom were released into the US under the Biden administration, were arrested and taken into custody for deportation, Homeland Security officials said.
“ICE conducted a targeted, intelligence-driven enforcement operation on Canal Street in New York City, focused on criminal activity relating to selling counterfeit goods,” Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement Wednesday.
“ICE arrested nine illegal aliens with criminal histories including robbery, burglary, domestic violence, assaulting law enforcement, counterfeiting, drug trafficking, drug possession and forgery,” she added.
While all nine were in the country illegally, six of the immigrants have criminal records, including Ndiaye, who has been busted for robbery, domestic violence, drugs and forgery, federal officials said.
