Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents swept into Greenport early Wednesday, allegedly arresting a driver who was getting ready to get on the ferry to Shelter Island.
A witness told The Suffolk Times that ICE officers pulled up behind a car in line for the ferry around 6:30 a.m. cuffed the driver.
Southold Police Chief Steve Grattan confirmed that federal agents “were out in Greenport this morning” — days after anti-ICE demonstrators held a vigil in the village to the protest the controversial activity.
Chief Grattan could not confirm if any arrests were made.
ICE agents were also spotted near Greenport High School during the morning drop-off, according to multiple sources. The school district has a large Hispanic population.
