ICE launches major operation in New York City targeting those with detainers
Aug 5, 2026 · New York, NY
ICE began a new enforcement operation in Queens on Monday targeting individuals with lodged detainers who were previously released by local jails and prisons. The operation is expected to expand to other areas of the metropolitan area. ICE officers are restricted from making arrests near courts due to New York's Protect Our Courts Act, though sources indicate collateral arrests of non-targeted individuals may occur.
