Your sensationalist title skews the issue.
"Homeland Security does wellness check for corporate trademarks, naughty people found"
Is this better?
Or maybe: "Homeland security now enforcing trademark law."

There is nothing wrong with seizing counterfeit products. Your sensationalist title skews the issue.
This just in: The truth is now sensationalist.No where in the article did any authority claim that the goods "fund terrorists." It states that they are sure it is organized crime that "could be terrorists." OP put words where they didn't exist solely to garner attention to an otherwise boring news article.
It's not the seizure of counterfeit goods that's the problem - it's the sowing of FUD by tying it (everything?) to terrorism.
Then you didn't read the article.
Terrorists eat food, right? Shut down the farms!
This is how things get out of control. Rather than read the article you prefer to read the title that the OP made up and then fan the flames by making more things up. Good job being a sheep.

Now that is fucked up.
Of course, the problem is they went to the wrong shops. A trip to the cookware section to confiscate pressure cookers would inconvenience far more terrorists.

AMHERST, N.Y. (WIVB) - Homeland Security investigators walked out with bags and boxes full of suspected counterfeit goods, after a raid at the Boulevard Mall. They seized cell phone cases and other merchandise that they believe violate trademark, copyright and intellectual property patents.
Three different kiosks were raided at the Boulevard Mall, late Monday morning. At the same time, stores were being raided at the Walden Galleria, in Cheektowaga. Investigators served several search warrants there, seizing similar goods.
These warrants come after undercover agents purchased goods from these stores. Investigators say these items were deemed fake by industry experts.
Homeland Security investigators say it is vital they stop the sale of these suspected counterfeit goods, because money spent could be going toward criminal networks. Terrorist networks, HSI says, could be selling knock off goods to make money.
