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.”
