NASSAU COUNTY DEPUTIZES 10 DETECTIVES FOR ICE, RESERVES 50 JAIL CELLS; 47 ARRESTS IN SEPTEMBER AS ICE BOOKINGS SURGE ACROSS NY

Nassau County, NY expanded cooperation with ICE in 2025, cross‑designating 10 detectives and setting aside 50 jail cells for up to 72‑hour ICE holds. Officials say September operations led to 47 arrests, with over 2,000 ICE cases processed this year. The move aligns with a broader surge in ICE bookings at New York county jails and growing local‑federal enforcement partnerships. County leaders warn NYC politics could complicate future intelligence sharing, while advocates cite oversight and due‑process concerns at county facilities.
