ICE Raids in NYC Surge: Candidate Warns Over 600 Detained Monthly Including Children
May 17, 2026
“600 DETAINED EVERY MONTH… MORE THAN 100 CHILDREN UNDER 12”
Congressional candidate and former U.S. diplomat Chuck Park has pulled back the curtain on a massive, hidden surge in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations across NYC. While the national news looks away, local neighborhoods are being torn apart by a ruthless detention machine.
These aren’t just statistics; these are children, parents, and neighbors being snatched from their doorsteps.
Chuck Park revealed that ICE is now detaining roughly 600 people every single month just within the NYC area. The most heartbreaking detail of the escalation is that more than 100 children under the age of 12 are among those being swept up and detained every month.
STOP THE RAIDS!

English Script:
Chuck Park: This just happened in New York City. ICE in Brooklyn on our streets. The truth is, they never left. They’ve been detaining more than 600 a month across the five boroughs since the beginning of this year, and that includes more than a hundred children under the age of 12. So what you’re seeing here is happening every single day in New York City. So grab your whistles, show up for those trainings, then call Governor Hochul. Pass New York for all now. Then vote in June for someone who will fight to abolish ICE.
