ICE Raids| Barge Runs Aground| Menacing a State Trooper

BREWSTER, NY — There was a lot of local and regional news on Southeast-Brewster Patch this past week. The feds were here in force, as Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a half dozen foreign nationals in the Hudson Valley during a 3-day sweep in New York.

A gasoline-laden barge ran aground on the Hudson River, immediately raising alarms among many about the Coast Guard's proposal to put several long-term barge anchorages along our stretch of the river.
