Newburgh immigrants in hiding after they say ICE was in area, knocking on doors

Immigrants in Newburgh say they are in hiding in after they say ICE officials were there Tuesday afternoon knocking on doors.

Ignacio Acevedo, with local nonprofit “Nobody Leaves Mid-Hudson,” tells News 12 that people sent him a photo of ICE agents outside their door on Carpenter Avenue arriving in a blue Hyundai.

People also sent him photos of sightings in Middletown and Monroe Monday. He says his phone has been ringing off the hook with people worried they’ll be next and asking him when they’ll be safe.
