ICE Raids Cato Factory And Volney Bakery; 40+ Detained, Hochul Blasts Family Separations

Gov. Kathy Hochul said ICE carried out two workplace raids in Central New York on Sept. 4—at Nutrition Bar Confectioners in Cato and at Teti Bakery in Volney near Fulton—detaining more than 40 people, including parents of at least a dozen children. Local officials said they were not notified in advance and some did not participate. ICE described the operations as court-authorized and part of an ongoing criminal investigation. The actions prompted swift condemnation from the governor over family separations and transparency concerns.
