A new ICE lock-up is coming to New York state. It’s just an hour from the city and could hold as many as 1,500 detainees.
In a recent online advisory, the Department of Homeland Security laid out its proposal “to purchase, occupy and rehabilitate a warehouse property at 29 Elizabeth Drive, Chester, NY in support of ICE operations.” The plans include erecting a small, new guard building.
The proposal has already triggered protests and contentious community meetings in Orange County, where local Congressmember Pat Ryan is attempting to block the facility.
Since Trump took office last year, ICE has opened a new 1,000 person facility in Newark called Delaney Hall, entered into new contracts with several upstate county jails and sent around 100 detainees at any given time to the Metropolitan Detention Center, a federal prison in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
Mostly sunny with a slight chance of rain. A high of 41, but be ready for dramatic temperature drops.
