Federal immigration agents took a man into custody in Northern Westchester early Friday morning, prompting concerns from local officials because the operation happened near a school bus stop.

According to Pugh, one man who lives on Brook Street was taken into federal custody. Croton Police had no advance knowledge of the operation and did not participate in it, Pugh said. The village did not have more verified information about the man's detention as of Friday morning. Pugh criticized the location and timing of the operation, saying it occurred in the immediate vicinity of a school bus stop on a school day without advance notice to village officials or the school district. "There is a time and place for federal law enforcement to carry out its responsibilities. Conducting an ICE operation in the immediate vicinity of a school bus stop on the morning of a school day, without any advance notification to local officials or the school district, was unnecessarily disruptive to our community," Pugh said on Friday. The village notified New York Attorney General Letitia James' office about the federal activity through its Federal Action Reporting Form, Pugh said. Friday's detention is the second known case involving a Croton resident taken into ICE custody this year, according to the mayor. Another man living on Brook Street was taken into custody in April and, as of the village's latest information, remained in federal custody at the Delaney Hall Detention Facility, Pugh said. The village did not identify either man or provide information about the circumstances behind their detentions. Click here to follow Daily Voice and receive free news updates.
