Any MSM coverage?
They roped off a 100-block area for these raids apparently and that isn’t big news?

That is huge. No wonder the MSM didn't cover it. Numbers above 9 confuse them.
A 100 block rope-off for “money laundering” etc could also be a cover story for another actual reason for a big cordon and search, the true reason they might not want to disclose. A large bomb, WMD, something like that. They might need to block of a chunk of a city, and might not want to tell us the real reason why.
What's it going to be like 20 years from now - after Democrat and Republican traitors help Mexico transfer even more of its population to our homeland?
Not in the garment district. Consider yourself lucky if you find someone that speaks English.
Agree 100%. 100 freaking blocks..??
“Money Laundering bust” smells like a cover story x 100.
The story last week was that they served 9 warrants, all in that area and seized $90million in cash.
