BREAKING 9/24/2025: Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agents are out making arrests in multiple cities in Suffolk County NY on Long Island. ICE has been spotted this morning in Brentwood, Bayshore, Islip, and Farmingdale.
You can get alerts of ICE sightings in the Long Island area using this excellent tool created by Islip Forward, The Long Island ICE Tracker. Just visit that website and you can see where ICE has been spotted that day and you can also scroll through to see sightings on previous days. If you want to stay vigilant and find out right away if ICE is in your area, there are instructions on the site for how to install the app on your phone and get notifications to alert you right away of sightings of ICE on Long Island.
You can also contribute to the project if you’d like. If you spot ICE out in your area you can submit the sighting on that site to let others known. Read the instructions on their site to find out all the details and the proper procedures for making a submission. The more people that participate in submitting sightings the better the tool will be.
Neither NYVL nor I are affiliated with Long Island ICE Tracker or Islip Forward. I am sharing this information because I think this is a really useful tool and more people should be using it. Today it was helpful to me as well since it is the reason I noticed that ICE has apparently ramped up their operations on Long Island and are suddenly out in force in Latino neighborhoods on the South Shore of Suffolk County. Users have submitted pictures of ICE agents apprehending people in the three neighboring cities Brentwood, Bay Shore, and Islip. There was also a submission showing ICE agents further north in Farmingdale.
I’ve had this application installed on my phone for months and I have never seen a day with this many ICE alerts in neighboring cities. ICE is extremely active on Long Island right now, much more than they had been thus far in Trump’s ethnic cleansing project. Again, ICE agents have been spotted in Brentwood, Bay Shore, Islip, and Farmingdale.
If you have seen ICE raids or arrests going on anywhere else in the New York area you should report it to Long Island ICE Tracker so they can spread the word. You can also let me know by shooting me an email or using the contact form and I will post updates as well.
Tom Homan, the man serving in the non-existent position of “Border Czar” who took a $50,000 bribe from undercover FBI agents weeks before Trump appointed him to his new fake job, had warned of his intention to step up enforcement efforts in New York after Labor Day. It looks like he was telling the truth about that (the increased enforcement in NY not the $50k bribe).
Stay safe everyone. If you are in Brentwood, Bay Shore, Islip, or anywhere in that general area then you may want to stay inside today regardless of your immigration status. ICE has been very aggressive lately and ICE agents have already put one Long Island man in the hospital and another in his grave.
