Outrage mounted and questions remained unanswered after federal agents detained multiple people on Chinatown’s Canal Street in an aggressive immigration raid Tuesday.

U.S. Homeland Security officials say they arrested more than a dozen people during the operation, including nine undocumented immigrants, four people who allegedly assaulted a federal officer and another who allegedly obstructed law enforcement by blocking a driveway.

Immigrant advocates said they scrambled to respond as masked agents made arrests in the busy street ahead of rush hour.

“This chaos was created by these federal agents who seemingly wanted to start a fight,” said Murad Awawdeh, president of the New York Immigration Coalition. “This was choreographed in the sense of them doing this to get New Yorkers to see that they're doing something, but they're not doing anything for our safety and security.”

Silver-lined clouds hung over the Yup’ik village of Kwigillingok the Thursday before a weekend storm was forecast to pass through.

Dan Winkelman was at the community health clinic for a ground-breaking ceremony, a commemoration of the facility’s much needed expansion. The renovation – part of a $100m effort by the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation (YKHC) – was an example of the non-profit matching its money to its mission: to represent “the healthiest people” in south-western Alaska.

For the YKHC, this translated into about 30,000 Indigenous Alaskans belonging to 58 federally recognized tribes in the region. As president and CEO, Winkelman started that October weekend on a high note.

“I met with the council. I met with the community. We had a nice groundbreaking,” he said. “And then this storm happened.”

A new study released Friday says President Trump’s immigration enforcement policies will decrease the country’s workforce by 15 million people over the next decade.

“The Trump administration’s policies on illegal and legal immigration would reduce the projected number of workers in the United States by 6.8 million by 2028 and by 15.7 million by 2035 and lower the annual rate of economic growth by almost one-third, harming U.S. living standards,” the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) wrote in its analysis of deportation efforts led by the White House.

“The reductions in legal immigration include suspending and reducing refugee admissions, the travel ban enacted in 2025, ending Temporary Protected Status and humanitarian parole programs, prohibiting international students from working on Optional Practical Training and STEM OPT after completing coursework and other changes, such as an expected public charge rule, to restrict legal immigration,” researchers wrote. 

“The analysis does not include the likely significant economic impact of restricting U.S. companies’ access to high-skilled foreign nationals through regulatory and administrative action, which could affect productivity growth,” they added.

A Chicago woman shot multiple times by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents was recently indicted by a grand jury on federal charges of impeding a federal officer with a deadly weapon.

Prosecutors allege Marimar Martinez, 30, rammed the vehicle of federal agents with her own before they shot her, which they say was an act of self-defense. They also claim Martinez was armed.

Martinez’s lawyer, Christopher Parente, said footage from one of the agent’s body-worn cameras contradicted that account, and Martinez will plead not guilty at an arraignment scheduled in the coming days.

According to Parente, that camera footage captured one of the officers saying, “Do something, bitch,” before opening fire.

The footage has not been made public.

Another person, 21-year-old Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, was also indicted on Thursday in the same case.
