A man living on Brook Street in Croton-on-Hudson was taken into ICE custody during a 'verified immigration enforcement' operation around 7 a.m. on September 11, 2026, near a school bus stop on a school day. Village Mayor Brian Pugh said the village police department had no advance knowledge of the operation and did not participate in it. Pugh criticized ICE for conducting the operation without notifying local officials or the school district, calling it 'unnecessarily disruptive,' and said he notified the state attorney general through her Federal Action Reporting Form. He noted this is the second such case on Brook Street, after another man was taken into ICE custody in an incident reported in the village's April 19-25, 2026 police blotter and who remains in federal custody; Pugh added that village police do not enforce federal civil immigration laws and only cooperate with immigration officials in cases involving judicial criminal warrants, terrorism, or probable cause of a criminal offense.
