lost — County jail in Belmont holding ICE detainees since Feb 2025 at $95/day, billed ~$115K through July 2025. Village of Allegany signed 287(g) in early 2026. Part of Buffalo Field Office overflow from overcrowded Batavia (727 in 650 beds).

contested — County Executive Blakeman signed 287(g) agreements Feb 2025. ICE detainee Santos Reyes-Banegas died Sep 18, 2025 — less than 18 hours after arrival. State court (Feb 2026) declined to halt the 287(g) agreement; NYCLU/LatinoJustice/Hofstra Law lawsuit continues. ICE missed federal 90-day death-report deadline; revised cause-of-death cited alcohol withdrawal (not liver failure as initially claimed). Family attorney Oscar Michelen alleges cover-up. Hochul introduced Local Cops, Local Crimes Act (Jan 30, 2026) seeking statewide 287(g) ban; Blakeman vows defiance. County on track to detain ~3,000 ICE detainees in 2026.

active-litigation — Lawsuit filed June 24, 2025 challenging Nassau County's 287(g) agreement remains pending in Nassau County Supreme Court before Judge Danielle M. Peterson. As of February 2026, no ruling on the preliminary injunction motion; case continues. State-level legislation (Hochul's Local Cops, Local Crimes Act) could moot the case if passed.

active-litigation — Judge Lewis Kaplan (SDNY) issued a preliminary injunction requiring humane conditions after ICE revealed it had secretly used a 9th floor in addition to the known 10th floor, violating the spirit of court oversight. Full trial in Barco-Mercado v. Noem is scheduled for May 26, 2026. Rep. Dan Goldman has conducted weekly oversight visits and been denied entry by ICE.

active-litigation — Class action filed April 8, 2026 in EDNY by Legal Aid Society, NYCLU, Make the Road NY, and Covington & Burling on behalf of eight Latino New Yorkers and the Workers' Center of Central New York. ICE arrested 2,888 people in the greater NYC area in the first six months of Trump's second term — triple the prior rate — while agents conducted stops based on perceived race and ethnicity with no individualized suspicion.

contested — Gov. Hochul introduced the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act on Jan 30, 2026, which would void all 14 active 287(g) agreements across 9 NY counties and bar local detention facilities from housing ICE civil detainees through July 2029. Bill is pending in the state legislature; upstate Republican sheriffs and Nassau County Executive Blakeman are the primary opposition.

contested — Sheriff Filicetti signed 287(g) May 2025 (both warrant service + task force models), earning $148/person/day. By January 2026, pulled back — updated policy to require criminal charges or judicial warrants before holding detainees for ICE.

lost — After ICE arrested beloved restaurant owner Jian Hao Zhang on June 25, 2025, Camden Police Chief Sean Redden signed 287(g) task force agreement with ICE 7 days later. Village police now have street-level immigration enforcement powers.

won — ICE backed away from Chester site ~Feb 20, 2026, after 400+ at public meeting, 10,000+ petition signatures, 50+ elected officials' bipartisan letter. But 'at this time' language + unaddressed New Windsor/Woodbury sites mean Orange County still at risk.

contested — Sheriff Allard has both warrant service and task force 287(g) agreements plus new 3-year U.S. Marshals contract (Feb 2026). Claims jail won't house civil immigration detainees but ICE rider allows revenue from criminal immigration cases. Residents packed chambers demanding rescission.

preemptive-defense — County Executive EO prohibits employees from sharing immigration status; Sheriff Figueroa backed Local Cops, Local Crimes Act. But adjacent Orange County ICE expansion (Chester warehouse, New Windsor office) makes Ulster a frontline community.
