U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested a Mexican national in Ithaca on Tuesday, an ICE spokesman and a Cornell student who said she witnessed the arrest told The Sun.
ICE officers “arrested one unlawfully present Mexican national today in Ithaca, following a routine targeted enforcement action,” Khaalid Walls, regional director of Northeast communications for ICE said in an email. “The action, in which that specific individual was sought, occurred without incident.”
The arrested person is currently detained at Buffalo Federal Detention Facility in Batavia, “pending removal proceedings,” Walls said.
