Women detained by ICE in upstate NY more likely to be transferred multiple times

While most people detained by ICE in the state were men, women detained by ICE are more likely to be transferred out of state, since there is no ICE detention facility for women in New York. Jahaira Roldan is the Capital Region manager of Organizing and Strategy with the New York Immigration Coalition. She says in the Capital Region, ICE has often detained men from their homes and their work vehicles, leaving their families without their breadwinners. Roldan says women who are detained in the region are usually first detained in county jails. Only 37% of men detained since the beginning of the second Trump administration were transferred to facilities out of state.
