Two years ago, New York City police and federal agents stormed into five housing developments in the Soundview section of The Bronx and swept up 120 young men on criminal conspiracy charges. Officials claimed it was the biggest “gang” raid in NYC history. This Friday, community organizers will welcome home two of those arrested. Kraig Lewis was doing graduate studies in college when the raid hit. “It felt like they were kidnapping us,” he told Black Agenda Radio producer Kyle Fraser.
