Immigrant Families 'Shattered' After New York Worksite ICE Raids
ICE and local sheriff deputies detained dozens during court-authorized enforcement at a major food production facility, amid concerns from worker advocacy groups about detainees' whereabouts.
- On September 4, 2025, ICE and Border Patrol agents conducted raids at Nutrition Bar Confectioners in Cato and a location in Fulton, New York, detaining over 40 workers.
- These actions followed a federal search warrant issued about a month earlier as part of an ongoing criminal investigation led by Homeland Security Investigations.
- During the raid, agents forced entry using crowbars, locked workers inside, and separated them into citizens and non-citizens, while advocates raised concerns about families left without information or care.
- Governor Kathy Hochul voiced her anger over the raids, highlighting that more than 40 adults were taken into custody, among them several individuals who are parents to a dozen or more children potentially facing the hardship of returning home to empty houses. She reaffirmed that while New York cooperates with the federal government to deport violent offenders, it firmly opposes the separation of families.
- The raids illustrate ongoing immigration enforcement impacts on immigrant communities and local economies, with advocates warning these measures disrupt families and do not increase public safety.
