The HK Bar in Queens is a well-known establishment, and at 11 p.m., it was packed to the brim.
Minutes later, four or five police cars pulled up outside the bar, and a group of officers charged in.

Simultaneously, the same thing happened in five other bars and three nightclubs—without exception, these venues were all operated by the Hongmen Zhiyuan Hall.

"Someone is preparing to move against Zhiyuan Hall."
