Ecuadoreans are not the largest immigrant group in NYC (they trail Dominicans, Mexicans, for example), but they're the largest group getting deported in New York.

Here's a breakdown:

Data shows 54% had no convictions, while the rest had pending charges or convictions.

Here's a breakdown of the 706 arrested in NYC area with convictions:

Not only have more people gotten arrested, but they have been held for longer periods in detention vs. Biden era.

More than half (about 58%) had deportation orders.

NEW: Mayor Eric Adams is sending a letter to the Trump administration demanding that it inspect and address conditions of the holding cells at 26 Federal Plaza where ICE is detaining people.

Conditions at 26 Federal Plaza according to a Dominican man who was held there for 3 days.

ICE did not respond to multiple requests for comments about conditions there.

We also obtained audio from her roommate's interaction with ICE officers when they came knocking on her apartment door at a Columbia University building.

Summonses she got during Columbia protests in April seemed to get her caught up in Trump's dragnet.

She said she was detained while she was trying to make her way home.

The case was quickly dismissed, per documents, but she did not disclose the arrest in her visa renewal.

As crackdown widens, lawyers and analysts are racing to understand:

Who is getting arrested and how many are “collateral” arrests?

Who is prioritized as ICE runs through list of criminals?

How are the apprehended being processed and detained?

Frank Tarentino, agent in charge of DEA in New York, explained how agents went down a target list.

It included immigrants with suspected gang ties and people wanted for murder and convicted of rape.

But unclear if there were also collateral arrests.

ICE routinely does targeted enforcement, albeit with less fanfare.

But this sort of multiagency show of force, after Trump authorized DOJ agencies to help with immigration crackdown, was new.
