initial targets of the operation<\/a>, a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman told The Times.<\/p>\nFootage from bystanders and local businesses obtained by The Times, although incomplete, provides a window into the events that unfolded on Canal Street.<\/p>\n
Mr. Salgado Araujo\u2019s white work van \u2014 closely followed by two unmarked S.U.V.s driven by ICE agents \u2014 is heading south on Wayside Drive at 6:46 a.m. Neither of the S.U.V.s appeared to have emergency lights activated.<\/p>\n
Mr. Salgado Araujo\u2019s van abruptly makes a tight left turn onto a residential block of Canal Street that is partially blocked off by construction. The change of direction is apparently too sudden for the agents in the lead S.U.V. \u2014 a Nissan \u2014 to follow. The second S.U.V. \u2014 a Jeep \u2014 follows the van onto Canal.<\/p>\n
Attempt to Box In Van<\/p>\n
Footage shows the Jeep, driven by an ICE agent, initially speeding up along the driver\u2019s side of Mr. Salgado Araujo\u2019s van, overtaking it. <\/p>\n
But two seconds later, a security camera at a medical office filming from the opposite direction shows the Jeep on the passenger side of the van. The Jeep appears to veer sharply toward the van, possibly making contact. Both vehicles swoop into a U-turn. An agent appears to exit the Jeep.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, footage shows the Nissan driven by an ICE agent cutting through a parking lot, pulling out onto Canal and driving head-on toward the van. The van shifts into reverse \u2014 backing away from the Nissan and out of the camera frame.<\/p>\n
A second later, the van pulls forward and is visible in the camera frame again steering left, away from two agents who are now chasing the van on foot. Part of the van\u2019s side paneling \u2014 possibly damaged by a collision not captured by the footage \u2014 can be seen falling off.<\/p>\n
During this period, the positioning of vehicles and agents is sporadically obscured in the available footage. It\u2019s unclear if there was a ramming or a collision or if shots were fired during these moments. <\/p>\n
Pursuit Ends<\/p>\n
The Nissan flips around back toward the van and at least one agent jumps out.<\/p>\n
Around the same time, another camera shows the van rolling forward to a stop. Almost immediately, a person is visible moving along the passenger side of the van. A moment later, an agent appears with one arm reaching back toward his hip and the other pulling the van door open. Several occupants are pulled out of the van onto their knees and handcuffed. Mr. Salgado Araujo is not visible among them.<\/p>\n
Footage from a passing motorist shows that seconds later, two agents on the other side of the van are bent over Mr. Salgado Araujo. He is lying on the ground and moaning, his hands behind his back. His shirt is soaked in blood.<\/p>\n
