As immigration raids ramp up across the country, ICE agents in Los Angeles, California, shot and wounded two people in a botched operation Tuesday. The agents reportedly shot an immigrant from Mexico they were attempting to arrest. A bullet then ricocheted and wounded a U.S. Marshal. The person ICE targeted has been identified as Carlitos Ricardo Parias, who is a popular TikTok streamer with over 100,000 followers and often documents ICE raids. He now faces criminal charges.

Here in New York, dozens of federal agents, many of them with face coverings, flooded Lower Manhattan Tuesday afternoon as they targeted immigrant street vendors, most of them from Africa. As news spread of the raids, several people took to the streets in protest.
