US EditionAuthorities carry out immigration raids in New York state, dozens detained, governor says
Federal immigration raids at a nutrition bar factory detained over 70 workers, including parents of schoolchildren, drawing criticism for family separations amid enforcement policies.
- On Thursday, September 4, federal agents conducted immigration raids in Cato and Fulton, New York, detaining over 70 workers at a nutrition bar factory and other sites.
- These raids occurred following increased ICE enforcement actions under the Trump administration's crackdown on migrants, which expanded ICE's authority and funding.
- The morning raid targeted the Nutrition Bar Confectioners factory, a family-run business established in 1978, resulting in the detention of more than 40 adults, many of whom are guardians to a dozen or more school-aged children.
- Governor Kathy Hochul criticized the raids as inhumane, stating that they devastated families who are diligently working to establish their lives in New York, while reiterating the state’s dedication to border security alongside its opposition to separating families.
- The raids sparked protests and raised concerns about impacts on families, with the governor stating these actions would not enhance New York's safety and highlighting children at risk of returning home to empty houses.
