CHESTER, N.Y.—County and local officials have expressed disapproval of a potential Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility that could be set up in an unused warehouse in the village of Chester.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released on Jan. 8 a notice of activity for the village’s 35.9-acre Pep Boys facility, which sits on a floodplain in Chester. The document said that the location was the preferred site in the area for the department’s needs.
