A NewsNation correspondent reporting on an ongoing ICE raid in lower Manhattan found herself in the middle of an \u201cincredibly volatile\u201d street conflict, keeping her poise \u2013 and the commentary rolling \u2013 as federal agents and protesters began yelling, shoving and wrestling on the ground.<\/p>\n

Jessica Kartalija was covering the raid on Tuesday in Manhattan, walking briskly with her camera crew as the combative crowd escalated to physical confrontation all around her. Several federal agents had descended on the Tribeca neighborhood to execute arrests on what appeared to be illegal vendors as protesters spontaneously stepped in to impede them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are walking through Tribeca and you can see there are hundreds of people,\u201d Kartalija says in the video. \u201cICE agents have arrested at least one person. Now, whether that was an undocumented immigrant or a protester is still unclear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At that point, a masked, visibly agitated protester comes up to her and says a family member had been detained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat did you just say, sir?,\u201d Kartalija asks him.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy cousin!\u201d he shouts.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid they arrest him?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes!\u201d He replies. \u201cHe\u2019s back in Dominican Republic!\u201d<\/p>\n

No major injuries to agents or protesters were immediately reported from the incident, and Kartalija, though in the middle of the action, was untouched.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are pounding on the windows of the car,\u201d she said. \u201cWhether anyone is inside or whether anyone has been arrested is unclear. They\u2019re pushing the agents, and the minute that the agents move somebody, that\u2019s when these people get thrown to the ground and tensions flare and escalate. So, the whole situation is just incredibly volatile.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back in the studio, NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo offered his take on the conflict. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was ugly. It could have been a lot worse,\u201d he said. \u201cAre they enforcing the law under proper color of authority? I would argue yes, depending on what I learn about the arrests and if they arrested people that they shouldn\u2019t have and did it in a way that they shouldn\u2019t have \u2014 and we\u2019re going to have to wait on that. But the way it looks is, I believe, a bad look for the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cuomo acknowledged that some people might root for that level of \u201cmuscularity\u201d in the enforcement process.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t,\u201d he said. \u201cOkay, now that doesn\u2019t make us enemies, but I\u2019ll tell you what \u2014 only one of us is right. And I think the rightfulness comes down to the results and how it is deemed in terms of whether they\u2019re doing the job the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n
