- ‘They kidnapped a hard-working kid off our streets’: the gardener seized by ICE – and the New York town fighting back
Gerson Turcios, a resident of Rhinebeck who moved to the US from Honduras at age 17, was approached and seized by immigration officers while mowing lawns in his hometown. Local neighbors and friends sprang into action when they learned about the arrest, questioning if they could stop his deportation. Ultimately, Turcios was photographed by the men and taken via an SUV to an ICE processing center in Newburgh.
