Body-Cam Footage From a Cato, NY Factory Raid Is Made Public — The Lawsuit Behind It Names More Than Just ICE

NEWARK, NEW JERSEY - JUNE 02: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stands guard ahead of a Newark Mayor Ras Baraka press conference in front of Delaney Hall on June 02, 2026 in Newark, New Jersey. Mayor Baraka filed a lawsuit seeking to shut down the Delaney Hall immigration detention center following 10 days of clashes between protesters and law enforcement that resulted in injuries to demonstrators and journalists, as well as multiple arrests. The lawsuit comes after Baraka imposed an overnight curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. near the facility, which he said he hopes to lift in the coming days. Supporters have continued to rally outside the center on behalf of detainees participating in hunger and labor strikes to protest conditions inside the facility and the temporary suspension of family visitation rights.

A year after federal agents stormed a snack-food plant in rural Cayuga County, the video finally caught up with the story. Body-camera footage obtained and reviewed by the Associated Press shows the inside of the Sept. 4, 2025 raid at Nutrition Bar Confectioners in Cato, a family-run manufacturer with a payroll of roughly 230 workers. The footage surfaced this week as evidence in a new civil rights lawsuit, and it lands at a moment when questions about how far worksite raids can legally go are already working their way through federal courts.
