MANHATTAN — A dozen federal agents in tactical gear arrested several people outside the Row Hotel, a shelter for migrant families, in Midtown, Thursday afternoon, sending shockwaves among residents living above.
According to video footage and eyewitness accounts, federal agents from the FBI and other agencies, dressed in flak jackets, swarmed the sidewalk at 44th Street, around the corner from the Row’s main entrance, at around 4 p.m. Thursday — a busy time when many families are coming home for the day.
It’s the first known case of a federal raid near a migrant shelter since Trump took office.
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security and for ICE, which oversees interagency teams making arrests across New York, didn’t return a request for comment.
