Pat Ryan Raises Concerns Over Potential ICE Facility in Newburgh
Congressman Pat Ryan said he is seeking answers about a newly leased site in Newburgh, N.Y., after public documents referred to features that could support government vehicle access, including detainee buses and vans. He said he is worried the property could be used for ICE detention.
The release says Ryan has opposed a proposed detention facility in Chester for months, including through a petition that it says gathered more than 25,000 signatures. It also says he is continuing to oppose any ICE facility in the Hudson Valley.
In quoted remarks, Ryan said the administration has not been transparent and that he is asking for clarity on the site's intended use. The release links the issue to broader concerns about immigration enforcement activity in New York.
