ICE Bodycams Show 57 Detained In Upstate N.Y. Factory Raid; Use Of ‘Blackie’s’ Warrant Spurs Legal Fight

Unsealed body-camera footage from a Sept. 4 ICE raid at Nutrition Bar Confectioners in Cato, N.Y., shows agents using a ‘Blackie’s’ administrative warrant to search for people, sorting workers by status, and forcing entry into a women’s restroom. The operation led to 57 detentions, five illegal re-entry charges, and at least one reported deportation of a worker with a valid permit. Defense attorneys and civil-rights groups have filed motions challenging the warrant’s constitutionality and the legality of arrests.
