Chester New York Proposed ICE Facility

An empty warehouse is in Chester, NY, in Orange County, on February 8, 2026, United States. Immigration and Customs Enforcement proposes a facility roughly two hours from New York City, according to the Department of Homeland Security, as noted in a public notice citing its location in a flood risk zone, but not indicating the building's use. Many locals, including city leaders such as Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY18) and Genesis Ramos (D), Orange County Legislator, oppose the proposed warehouse at a recent rally. (Photo by Matthew Hoen/NurPhoto)
