A family of seven has been detained by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in New York, with children among those apprehended.

As reported by NBC5, ICE agents searched a farm in Sackets Harbor and arrested eight individuals. Initially, the agents had responded to the farm looking for one person who was later charged with possession of child pornography. But in addition to his arrest, seven others were taken to a nearby border patrol station. Three of them were students at Sackets Harbor Central School District.
