An analysis of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) tactics on Long Island shows how the agency has largely operated outside of coordinated raids and targeted home visits, and instead emphasizes parking lot surveillance and traffic stops. At least 84 of roughly 400 cases of local ICE arrests reviewed by Newsday involved immigrants who were using a car on Long Island, including during traffic stops, in parking lots and following crashes. ICE is barred by state law from accessing New York DMV records, but has run out-of-state plates in several cases that led to arrests, records show. Josefa Velásquez and Arielle Martinez report in NEWSDAY that ICE has arrested more than 2,000 people on Long Island since the start of the second Trump administration, and almost none have come from the type of attention-grabbing sweeps that have sparked unrest around the country. Instead, ICE is leveraging the region’s prevailing car culture, turning strip mall parking lots, side streets and highways into a pillar of its surveillance operation, a Newsday investigation found.The Federation for American Immigration Reform, a Washington, D.C.-based organization that favors limited immigration, said ICE is carrying out its responsibilities by surveilling parking lots and carrying out traffic stops."Like any law enforcement department anywhere in the country, they look for violators in places where they are most likely to be found and utilize the tools that are available to them to identify people who are subject to enforcement," said Ira Mehlman, FAIR’s media director. "That appears to be precisely what ICE is doing on Long Island."Immigration arrests on Long Island reached a historic high at the start of the year and continued steadily, according to the most recently available arrest data, from October through early March. The arrests make up a growing share of detentions by ICE in the metropolitan area.Since last fall, arrests on Long Island make up more than half of the arrests in the region, although roughly 15% of New York’s undocumented immigrants call Long Island home.***A massive and potentially legendary orca was spotted cruising off the coast of Montauk Monday in what could be the first sighting off Long Island in decades. Katherine Donlevy reports in THE NY POST that the beast — possibly the famous Old Thom whale known for patrolling the waters off Cape Cod — shocked sailors by sticking its 7-foot dorsal fin above the surface and shooting a spout of seawater from its blowhole.Incredible video captures the whale’s single, quick surfacing — and its black fin slicing through the blue waves just 10 nautical miles off Long Island’s South Fork.“It was just a really impressive animal. I think we all stood in shock and couldn’t believe what we saw and we were screaming at the top of our lungs!” said Discovery Channel superstar Dr. Craig O’Connell, who witnessed the once-in-a-lifetime event. “It’s kind of like winning the lottery that we actually got to see one.”O’Connell was at sea with the O’Seas Conservation Foundation’s Shark Camp — a program that teaches high school students how to tag and study sharks.But the sharks were seemingly scared off by the killer whale, one of the few species that make meals of sharks.Plus, the Montauk orca was traveling with a sea of dolphins rather than a pod of orcas, behavior for which Old Thom is known.The orca sighting could be the first off Long Island waters in decades.The species’ return to Long Island could simply be because it was following food, explained O’Connell.“We were in an area where there was an abundance of prey. There’s big bluefin tuna around right now. There are smaller marine mammals that they can also feed on. There’s also sharks in the area, so likely it’s prey related,” the Shark Week host said.“It’s a species that utilizes all waters. We call it circumglobal, so they can be anywhere and the fact that it’s here in Montauk is exciting and definitely unusual, but it’s not something that’s out of the realm of possibility.”***A long-planned new headquarters for the Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps {RVAC} moved a step closer to construction Tuesday, with the Town Board’s approval of two measures related to the project.Denise Civiletti reports on Riverheadlocal.com that the ambulance headquarters drew the most discussion among the board’s formal actions. The board scheduled an Aug. 4 public hearing to conduct a Monroe balancing test for Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps’s proposed new emergency services facility at 1111 Osborn Avenue. The project calls for demolishing the existing one-story ambulance building and replacing it with a 25,303-square-foot, three-story building with ambulance bays, offices, meeting rooms, bunkrooms, kitchen space, recreation and fitness rooms and other support space.RVAC President Garrett Lake thanked the Riverhead Town Board, Council Member Ken Rothwell, ...
