Four tree removal workers detained by ICE in Stamford sweep
Aug 24, 2026·Location: Stamford, CT

ICE agents detained four people in Stamford on Monday who worked for different tree removal companies, according to a report from the group CT Students for a Dream. Agents reportedly entered neighborhoods with large immigrant populations and detained people at random, though several individuals were later released after showing documentation. Stamford Mayor Caroline Simmons said she was 'horrified by the cruelty of these actions' and that the city's streets should not see people 'randomly removed' with their rights violated.
