"Over the last couple of months, we've been seeing a larger presence of ICE all over Bushwick, East New York and Williamsburg. ICE appears to have significantly increased its presence in Bushwick recently."
"We have not yet seen ICE entering hospitals just to take patients or staff, but we are seeing repeated cases of ICE swarming hospitals when they bring people in after ... harming them."
ICE has intensified its presence in Brooklyn, particularly in neighborhoods like Bushwick, East New York, and Williamsburg. A recent arrest at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center sparked protests, highlighting community concerns. Officials report a rise in ICE sightings, with advocacy groups documenting at least 10 incidents in April alone. The arrested individual, from Nigeria, had overstayed a tourist visa and required medical attention after the arrest. Local leaders and advocates have condemned ICE's tactics, emphasizing the need for hospitals to remain safe spaces for all individuals.
