U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations are ongoing in Kingston as city officials continue to provide updates. As of Monday (March 3), federal agents remain focused on the Ulster County community. The city of Kingston has been actively informing residents through its Facebook page, sharing a "Know Your Rights with ICE" document called the Immigrant Defense Project. This document aims to educate residents about their rights during ICE operations.
According to Hudson Valley One, ICE activities have led to detentions, including a man living without legal status and another incident involving a naturalized U.S. citizen questioned about his brother. The Ulster County Sheriff's office has not confirmed any detainments by ICE agents, leaving some residents anxious and concerned.
The Ulster Immigrant Defense Network continues to support the community by providing a network of safety and support to immigrants, regardless of their status. The organization is committed to promoting racial justice, equity, and inclusion while opposing racism and xenophobia.
As ICE operations persist, Kingston officials and community organizations remain vigilant, offering resources and support to those affected. The situation continues to evolve, with updates expected as more information becomes available.
