An autonomous group dropped a banner as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade began on Central Park West in New York City today. Its message, NO THANKS FOR COLONIALISM, NO FORGIVENESS FOR GENOCIDE, hung along the route for the duration of the parade, a crack in the highly surveilled and commercialized spectacle of colonial amnesia. At the same time, across the bridge in Brooklyn, another autonomous group dropped a banner from the BQE, reading FUCK YOUR TURKEY, LAND BACK—a moment of confrontation for people driving upstate for their business-as-usual Thanksgiving celebrations.
This land is watered by blood, and every harvest reaped is the result of genocide. Fuck Thanksgiving, a nation-wide whitewashing of the holocaust carried out by European colonizers against millions of indigenous people, in the name of a nation that gorges itself on murder and plunder every day. From Plymouth Rock to Palestine, no forgiveness for genocide.
A banner will not weaken our enemies, but working together on actions like these can make us stronger in the protracted struggle for life free of the settler state. Far bolder action is necessary. Those who seek to end colonial and imperialist domination are honing their ability to carry out collective action in clandestinity. And they are looking for friends. Together we willdestroy this empire.

For the second time in just over a month, a large-scale raid by dozens of immigration agents in New York City was met with a similarly large-scale counter-protest. This time, however, the protesters thwarted the authorities’ plans before they began.
Multiple arrests were made on Saturday during scuffles on the edge of Chinatown, during which hundreds of protesters faced off with federal agents and the New York Police Department (NYPD) as they prepared to launch a raid in the area.
It comes just a month after a raid by 50 federal agents using military-style vehicles stormed Canal Street in Lower Manhattan, and was met with a protest of hundreds in response.
The confrontation also comes amid a reported surge in activity by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in the city in recent weeks, despite a friendly encounter between the Mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, and President Donald Trump earlier this month that appeared to avert a showdown over the issue.
But the mass counter-protest of some 200 people demonstrates the challenges federal authorities will face in enforcing President Trump’s hardline immigration crackdown in a city that is rooted in its immigrant identity.
Immigration crackdowns in other cities like Chicago and Portland have been met with similar responses from locals opposed to the Trump Administration’s hardline immigration agenda, but New York could prove to be the toughest challenge yet.
Saturday’s incident demonstrated how the city’s physical infrastructure —its narrow streets and densely populated areas, built mostly by immigrant labor over the last two centuries—can impede ICE’s so-called “enforcement surges,” which require large numbers of agents moving quickly in and out of an area.
Not only are large-scale ICE raids being met by hundreds of protesters, but in two months, New York will be led by an immigrant mayor for the first time in 50 years. Mamdani, who moved to the United States when he was seven years old, campaigned on protecting New York’s immigrant community from these very same raids.
‘Agitators’ in ‘goggles’
The confrontation began on Saturday, when agents from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) gathered in a parking garage in a federal building on the edge of Chinatown in preparation for a raid.
Videos of the incident show protesters blocking the agents as they try to leave the garage in their cars. The crowd then swells to the hundreds, as more NYPD officers arrive.
Later, according to reports, federal agents emerged from the garage and assisted the NYPD in detaining protesters.
The DHS blamed “agitators” for blocking the federal agents in a statement to [news source].
“Following social media posts calling agitators to ICE’s location in New York City, individuals dressed in black clothing with backpacks, face masks, and goggles showed up and began to obstruct federal law enforcement officers including by blocking the parking garage,” the statement said. “NYPD was called and responded to hundreds of violent rioters, which resulted in the arrest of multiple agitators.”
Murad Awawdeh, President of the immigrant advocacy group the New York Immigration Coalition and a member of Mamdani’s transition team, said the protests this weekend were a sign that the city would put up fierce resistance to federal immigration operations.
“New York City is unlike any other place in this country or even the world, and what you have seen yesterday and time and again is that New Yorkers of all stripes, across all creeds, are not going to allow a rogue, lawless, violent and horrific agency to continue to mess with their neighbors.”
The attempted raid in Lower Manhattan comes amid an increase in ICE activity in New York City over the past few weeks. On Oct. 21, in a separate raid on Canal Street, nine people from Africa were taken into custody by ICE agents during what DHS called a “targeted, intelligence-driven enforcement operation…focused on criminal activity relating to selling counterfeit goods.” The raid, which involved more than 50 federal agents, also led to the arrest of five protestors after people reportedly attempted to chase federal agents away. The DHS claimed protestors were blocking vehicles and obstructing law enforcement duties.
In recent weeks, ICE agents have been spotted with greater frequency in immigrant neighborhoods of Corona in Queens, Washington Heights in Manhattan, and Sunset Park in Brooklyn.
Activists in those neighborhoods have responded to the increased ICE activity by organizing community alert systems, such as handing out whistles to be used when agents are seen in the area. The strategies resemble ICE Watch in other cities hit especially hard by Trump’s immigration crackdown, such as Chicago, where groups like Protect Rogers Park enlist community members to follow and report on ICE activity in the area.
do not try this at home! an ice pick is faster, quieter, and easier than you might think. volume up to hear it. wear gloves. you can do this! we were scared too, we didn’t know how ’til we tried, but it’s actually very basic. you don’t have to be an anarchist. we’re just regular people sick of watching nypd and ice brutalize people, watching crowds surround a vehicle and nobody doing anything. we’ve seen reports of it done recently in chicago, north carolina, and rochester, NY. come on NYC, this is the least we can do! scared to try in broad daylight? try it at night. as always, take the appropriate precautions to cover yourself and your tracks, e.g. see the shoe prints in the snow? don’t do that, toss the shoes if you do.
At least 11 police vehicles were vandalized while parked at a precinct in Queens on Monday night.
It happened outside the 116th Precinct just before 11:30 p.m. near North Conduit Avenue and 244th Street.
The damaged cars were both marked and unmarked.
It appears that someone threw rocks or objects through the vehicle windows.
The result was smashed windshields, back windows and broken mirrors.
The crime was brazen as multiple cameras are posted outside of the precinct.
The precinct is fairly new and opened a few years ago with a new community center.
“Hopefully they figure out who did it so it doesn’t happen again, because if they feel comfortable enough to vandalize the cars, who is to say they won’t vandalize the precinct next,” a neighbor said.

[Name] was arrested in Queens on Tuesday night in connection with the vandalized vehicles, the NYPD said. [Name] was charged with reckless endangerment, 14 counts of criminal mischief, two counts of possession of a weapon and resisting arrest.
“50 chickens liberated under the cover of the night, hours before being slaughtered during the ritual of Kaporos that takes place in the streets of Brooklyn every year. Be the resistance, go out, liberate animals, fight back!”
After the mass revolts in August 2025, where a large section of the population rose up and attacked the state’s basic corruption and inequality, 44 anarchist comrades are imprisoned at the West Java paramilitary police compound in Bandung. There is no access for anyone but the families, and even this is minimal. The detainees have been cut off and they are being used in a mainstream media manipulation campaign by the Indonesian state. Many of the imprisoned comrades are very young. They are all accused of being part of the individualist-nihilist “Chaos Star” network, which is a fabrication created by the police for the purpose of their prosecution. The police claim that the imprisoned comrades were radicalised by ‘Leaders’ and funded by foreign anarchist organisations. The cops point to the existence of banners, flags, books, pamphlets and music, which is in the possession of the detainees, as commonly held items denotative of membership of this “Chaos Star” organisation.
Some of the comrades are accused of serious direct actions such as molotov attacks, arson, riot, property destruction, etc. Lastly some of the comrades are accused of instigation, either online, for their blogs or social medias or for their ‘prominent’ role. They are isolated in the paramilitary compound and the Legal Aid Institute (LBH) in Bandung has been blocked from representing them. An option is to hire a private lawyer but that would cost tens of millions (rupiah). We ask for heightened attention to this dangerous situation. Torture and abuse are being widely used on the detainees, confirmed by the families. The young comrades were injured and hurt until they gave false confessions that they were even at the demonstrations and/or part of specific organisations, as they were subjected to the brutality of the paramilitary police. This is a known fact and a reality that we have to confront. In the wake of the insurrection across Indonesia against the right-wing ex-military Prabowo Subianto, the young people and the anarchist movement has been severely repressed by the regime. Many young people have been caught up in the police assaults and regardless of their supposed “guilt” or “non-guilt”, we extend our solidarity with them, and to all those who struggle against social oppression, prisons, police and the state.
We are publishing the names of our imprisoned comrades and the prison address of the West Java paramilitary police compound where our friends are held. Let’s not leave these comrades alone and let’s send them solidarity letters, postcards and our message of fire. Even if the solidarity post is stolen and blocked by the administrators of abuse, they will know that we will hold them all responsible for what is taking place in Bandung. Let’s shine a light on what the hated police torturers and regime of Prabowo Subianto are doing to our young comrades, and where it is taking place and by whom, and let’s fight back against the police and all prisons everywhere.

Name: Bima Satria Putra
Bima is an anarchist imprisoned for 10 kilos of cannabis who is known for his prisoner’s union project, translations and writings since he was jailed in 2021. Bima has been transferred from Palembang City detention centre to Bandung, where the 43 “Chaos Star” network defendants are all held. It’s unclear what charges have been brought against him due to the general lack of information. Most likely, instigation, and ascribing a leadership role due to his public writings. However, Bima is not part of any individualist/nihilist anarchist network or any egoist cell.
The charges against the all suspects include violations of Articles 187 and/or 170 and/or 406, and/or Article 1 (1) of the Emergency Law No. 12 of 1951, with a maximum prison sentence of up to 20 years.

An immigration enforcement sweep targeting vendors on Manhattan’s famed Canal Street turned chaotic on Tuesday after droves of angry New Yorkers surrounded federal agents and attempted to block them from driving off, prompting arrests and fierce standoffs along a bustling downtown corridor.
The confrontation began shortly after 4 p.m., as federal agents fanned out across a section of Chinatown that has long served as a not-so-underground market for knock-off designer handbags, watches, perfumes, electronics and other goods.
A [news source] reporter observed dozens of agents detaining a street vendor selling bedazzled smartphone cases, one of a number of arrests in the area.
In response, a contingent of protesters, many of whom appeared to be on their way home from work, surrounded the masked officers, attempting to block their vehicle as they shouted “ICE out of New York” and called on other pedestrians to join them.
Agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Border Patrol and other federal offices then tried to clear the streets, in some cases shoving protesters to the ground and threatening them with pepper spray before detaining them.
As more New Yorkers joined the fray, some of the federal agents retreated on foot, followed by jeering protesters and honking vehicles. Additional federal agents, armed with long guns and tactical gear, also arrived in a military tactical vehicle.
Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, said the agents were conducting an enforcement operation against sellers of “counterfeit goods”
“During this law enforcement operation, rioters who were shouting obscenities, became violent and obstructed law enforcement duties including blocking vehicles and assaulting law enforcement,” she said.
Trump has threatened to send federal troops to the city if Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, wins election in two weeks.
An FBI spokesperson said Tuesday that special agents were involved with immigration enforcement efforts in New York in response to a request from DHS to help with “major operations.”
October 23, 2025
Federal authorities said 14 people, including immigrants and demonstrators, were arrested in Tuesday’s sweep. The Department of Homeland Security said it was a targeted operation focused on the alleged sale of counterfeit goods, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement acting Director Todd Lyons said it was “definitely intelligence-driven.”
“It’s not random. We’re just not pulling people off the street,” he told Fox News on Wednesday.
But some vendors saw it as an indiscriminate and heavy-handed crackdown by masked agents who queried a wide swath of sellers.
Awa Ngam was selling sweaters Wednesday from a table at a Canal Street intersection where at least one of her fellow vendors was taken away the previous afternoon.
She said she also was asked for ID, showed it, and then for her passport, which she doesn’t carry around. Agents quizzed her about how she had come to the U.S., but they eventually backed off after her husband explained that she’s an American citizen, she said.
Some other sellers decried the sweep as harassment. Others were keeping a low-profile and shied from speaking with journalists.
Signs freshly posted on streetlights mentioned Tuesday’s sweep and urged people at risk of detention to call an immigration law group’s helpline.
Law enforcement raids aimed at combating counterfeiting are relatively frequent on Canal Street, which is known for its stalls and shops where some vendors hawk knock-off designer goods and bootlegged wares. Federal authorities often team up with the New York Police Department and luxury brands on crackdowns aimed at shutting down illicit trade.
But the sight of dozens of masked ICE and other federal agents making arrests drew instant protests.
Nine people were arrested in the initial immigration sweep, DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said. Four more people were arrested on charges of assaulting federal law enforcement officers, she said, adding that a fifth was arrested and accused of obstructing law enforcement by blocking a driveway.
The sweep came after at least two conservative influencers shared video on X of men selling bags on Canal Street’s sidewalks.
While clashes between immigration authorities and protesters have played out in Los Angeles and other cities, such scenes have been rarer on New York City streets, which Mayor Eric Adams has attributed in part to his working relationship with President Donald Trump’s administration.
Dozens of federal agents, mostly masked, swarmed into downtown Manhattan near Chinatown on Tuesday afternoon, stepping out of unmarked vehicles and detaining several New Yorkers around the busy commercial area in a hectic raid that targeted people who fit the profile of a counterfeit goods vendor.
At one point early in the raid, a group of roughly 15 agents was quickly surrounded by residents and journalists as they took a Black man, who identified himself as Edwin, into custody against a wall. The agents maintained a perimeter around the arrest; nearby, bewildered tourists could be seen trying to figure out what was going on. Some locals filmed the arrest themselves, heckling the agents, telling them, among other things, to leave the city. Edwin yelled that he did not have his ID on him but was from Brooklyn and demanded agents release him as he also hurled expletives directed at President Donald Trump. After agents let him go, he confronted them, demanding that they “suck my dick,” prompting one agent to threaten to arrest him again, before Edwin eventually left.
Several people who had been detained were released after agents checked their IDs. Another Black man who did not identify himself later told Hell Gate that agents had detained him without warning and then released him after checking his ID. Some agents appeared to be holding bundles of papers with photos on them, presumably arrest targets.
A person with knowledge about the raid told Hell Gate that agents from ICE, the DEA, the IRS, and the FBI had all been brought into the operation, which they said was hastily planned. They confirmed that the raid was targeted toward the counterfeit goods sellers on Canal Street. Homeland Security Investigation’s Strategic Response Team—the agency’s version of SWAT—was also there with an armored vehicle, though Hell Gate did not witness anyone leaving the vehicle or it being used in any way. Most agents participating in the raid had street clothes and bulletproof vests with small firearms, though at least one carried what looked like an M4-style long gun.
(Felipe De La Hoz / Hell Gate)
One agent present appeared to be the ICE agent who was briefly relieved of duties last month after he was filmed aggressively pushing a woman down at the 26 Federal Plaza immigration court in a viral video, though Hell Gate could not confirm his identity. According to reporting in [news source], that agent, who remains publicly unnamed, was quickly reinstated after a brief preliminary review of the incident, in which he tackled the distraught wife of a man agents had just detained. At the downtown raid, he was one of the few agents without a face covering.
Small teams of six or seven agents soon splintered off to do their own rounds. They mostly seemed to move between Bayard and Hester Streets to the south and north and Broadway and Bowery to the east and west. One fruit seller on Canal told Hell Gate that a group of agents had gone by in the direction of Broadway and then quickly come back around, somewhat aimlessly. “I’m not sure what they wanted,” she said. Hell Gate followed one group for about 10 minutes as it moved around the area, jaywalking and fanning out across the sidewalk, but did not witness them approach or interact with any pedestrians or drivers. Pedestrians who walked by them often seemed surprised to see the group, and many reacted viscerally, shouting out to warn others that there were federal agents approaching. At one point, they went down into the Canal Street subway station, looked around, and went back up the stairs.
(Felipe De La Hoz / Hell Gate)
During this lap, the group passed an NYPD Strategic Response Group vehicle idling on Walker Street. An officer with that group told Hell Gate that they were there incidentally and did not have advance notice of the operation and were not assisting federal counterparts or monitoring the situation. When reached for comment, a spokesperson for the NYPD pointed to a statement that the agency posted to X, which said that “the NYPD had no involvement in the federal operation that took place on Canal Street this afternoon.”
Other than those officers, Hell Gate did not see any state or local law enforcement in the immediate vicinity for the start of the raid. Federal agents did not respond to verbal questions about their targets, intent, or personnel. A request sent out to ICE with similar questions did not receive an immediate response.
While Tuesday’s operation netted relatively few arrests in comparison to the volume of agents present, this mass, highly visible federal raid comes on the heels of another sudden raid outside of a migrant shelter, part of an escalation in tactics after a period in which arrests were largely confined to the city’s immigration courts. Donald Trump has been vocal about wanting to deploy agents to New York City in the same manner as aggressive operations in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C.
This federal show of force comes just a couple days after right-wing internet personality Savannah Hernandez posted on X about “African illegal immigrants…operating a black market” on Canal Street, and two weeks before a mayoral election in which frontrunner Zohran Mamdani has promised to more aggressively confront federal agents operating in the city. The NYPD has separately been cracking down on street vendors, including those selling counterfeit goods, as part of its renewed focus on “quality of life” enforcement.
Hell Gate did not see federal videographers of the sort seen filming footage for Homeland Security sizzle reels promoted on social media and elsewhere, though the person with knowledge of the raid said that at least one government photographer had been present.
As the raid progressed, officers from different agencies stood or walked around and were yelled at by passersby. Small crowds formed near agents standing on street corners and curbs or inside their cars, as protesters called them “fucking fascists” and “scum.” Hell Gate overheard one agent exasperatedly telling another, “Well I guess we’ll just RTB then,” using an acronym for “returning to base.” Still, while some agents began to leave the area around 4 p.m., several groups of agents remained and conducted additional arrests. Many were subsequently swarmed by angry locals, who called the agents racists and demanded they leave the city. According to [news source], federal agents arrested some protesters, tackling some people to the ground and using their batons and riot shields to control the crowd.
Last week, NYPD raided the homes of three people in connection with a July vandalism action on the New York Times offices. Three people were arrested and had many of their possessions confiscated, after which they were arraigned on felony charges. The following is an excerpt — with sensitive details redacted — from the police report on one of the accused persons. It reveals some concrete details about how NYPD investigates actions of this nature, including the extensive capacity of security cameras as well as the use of the MTA OMNY and Metrocard systems as a mass surveillance tool. This may not be the full extent of the techniques used — just what was necessary to include in the report.

This surveillance footage further depicted the following message left in white, capital letters on one of the glass windows of the New York Times building: “NYT LIES; GAZA DIES.” I observed leaflets left behind outside the New York Times building, which were titled, “THE NEW YORK TIMES IS STARVING GAZA.” The leaflets included a cartoon of two pigs painting pieces of paper in red lettering. The leaflets also read, in part, “THE NYT IS AN ACTIVE ACCOMPLICE IN THE ONGOING GENOCIDE.” As part of my review of the above-described surveillance footage, I observed an individual spraying or pouring cans of paint on the sidewalk directly outside the New York Times building. The individual was dressed in all black clothing, wearing a face mask. I additionally reviewed surveillance footage depicting 8th Avenue and 38th Street on July 30, 2025 at approximately 3:59 AM, two minutes after the above-mentioned individual poured or sprayed the paint. This footage portrayed said individual heading southbound on 8th Avenue. This footage additionally depicted said individual removing [a] black outer layer, thus leaving only a white tank top. I additionally reviewed video surveillance footage depicting 8th Avenue and 36th Street on July 30, 2025 at approximately 4:01 AM.

This footage portrayed the two above-mentioned individuals entering the subway platform at the turnstiles. I reviewed subway fare information for the above date, time, and location to identify the OMNY cards that swiped into the station. Via the above-described review, I identified the OMNY card with serial number ——- I proceeded to review OMNY card transaction history for the card with the above-mentioned serial number, and the card was purchased on July 29, 2025 at approximately 11:25 PM at the ——- subway station in ———, New York.

I followed that individual via video, and observed that same individual inside of [a retail business], located at ——— on July 29, 2025, at approximately 11:27 PM, purchasing an item without wearing a mask, and wearing a graphic t-shirt bearing a logo that read, ———. Said t-shirt was recovered from the defendant’s residence, pursuant to a search warrant. I followed this individual via video, and observed —- enter and exit a residential building in ———, both before and after 11:27 PM. I am informed by State Trooper —— ———- , Shield No. ——, that after he conducted an investigation, he believed that the above-described individual is the defendant. I am further informed by Informant 1, a company representative known to the District Attorney’s Office, that an individual by the name of the defendant lives at the address at which the above-described individual was depicted on surveillance footage entering and exiting. I am informed by a representative of the New York Times that he is a custodian of the above-described property, and that the defendant did not have permission or authority to damage said property. Representatives of the New York Times shared invoices with me reflecting the costs incurred to fix the damage. I am informed by the above-mentioned invoices that the total cost required to fix the damage amounted to $107,599.54, consisting of $28,587.40 in cleanup costs, $7,154.64 in mag lock repair costs, and $71, 857.50 in façade repairs.
We hope that folks will develop their own takeaways, cross-referenced with other revelations about NYPD investigative practices, to develop more thorough understandings of tactical weak points of actions within NYC. We want to note that while police saw some success here, there have been countless actions of this kind in recent memory where nobody was identified. Most techniques of the state can be creatively juked. We have to believe that it is always possible to slip under the wire.
In commemoration of October 7th, the revolutionary Al-Aqsa Flood Operation, we are calling for a week of action for pro-Palestinian political prisoners Elias Rodriguez and Casey Goonan.
The Palestinian Revolution, with dignity and pride, changed the course of history two years ago, and on this anniversary we must also stand up for those who took action. Former political prisoner Georges Abdallah said, “it is the duty of every revolutionary to respond with the means at their disposal” in his salute to Elias, noting that it is a duty for revolutionaries in the west to rise in response to genocide and in solidarity with the Resistance. Elias is accused of being such a figure and Casey has been convicted of fulfilling this duty.
Elias is accused of assassinating two zionist pigs in DC in solidarity with anti-colonial Resistance forces in West Asia fighting for a free Palestine. He is currently pre-trial and potentially facing the death penalty.
Casey Goonan is a political prisoner who has been convicted of torching a UC Berkeley pig vehicle in support of the pro-Palestine student movement and in support of the Palestinian Revolution. They were accused of a series of arsons in what was termed Operation Campus Flood. They were recently sentenced to almost 20 years in prison.
From October 25 through November 1st take action in support of our comrades. Direct actions, letter writing, wheat pasting, banner drops, or whatever you may have in your toolkit. Stand up for our comrades in the imperialist dungeons.
Email us any photos or reports of your actions and we will publish them in a later round up.
