An illegal immigrant allegedly selling counterfeit merchandise on Canal Street in Chinatown was arrested by ICE Saturday — and the agency later blasted the NYPD for repeatedly releasing the man from custody amid its revolving door criminal justice system.
Abdou Tall, who is from Senegal, was arrested at Broadway and Canal Street in lower Manhattan around noon during a “targeted operation,” an ICE spokesperson said in a statement.
Tall has been arrested multiple times for allegedly trafficking counterfeit merchandise , the spokesperson said.
“Tall fled from law enforcement on foot for several blocks before he tripped and fell and then continued to actively resist arrest,” the spokesperson said. “Our officers followed their training and successfully arrested him.”
