Overview

• Immigration agents detained one roofer identified by his employer as “Chino,” who the contractor says has U.S. work authorization and has lived in the country for 25 years.
• More than 100 protesters converged on the Park Avenue site, shouted at officers, and the hours-long standoff ended with agents departing while other workers stayed on the roof.
• A Border Patrol SUV was driven away on four slashed tires, and federal authorities said they are investigating the vehicle damage.
• CBP said ICE led the operation, Rochester police said they were not involved, and local lawmakers and advocates criticized the raid at the scene.
• The confrontation reflects a broader national enforcement push under President Trump that has focused on sanctuary jurisdictions and expanded interior operations.
