U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested an adult man in Ithaca on Tuesday, an ICE spokesman and a Cornell student who said she witnessed the arrest told The Sun. “We made an arrest today,” Khaalid Walls, regional director of Northeast communications for ICE said in an email to The Sun, adding later that the arrest took place in Ithaca. A Cornell student who lives in Ithaca and spoke to The Sun on condition of anonymity said she witnessed ICE agents arrest a man on Cascadilla Street near the corner of Fourth Street on Tuesday afternoon between 1 and 2 p.m. “Two guys stepped out and asked, ‘Is your name José?’ to which he replied ‘Yes,’ and ICE agents in vests nabbed him,” the student said. There was no struggle and the man was compliant with the agents, according to the student, who said she was walking to class at the time.
