On Thursday, June 12th, I received a phone call in the early afternoon that ICE was in Port Washington. The resident on the phone stated that they were located at Razzle Dazzle Car Wash.

As I was driving to the car wash, I called the owner and found out that ICE was not there. Then, I heard they were on Main Street. I went to Main Street and didn't see anything of interest.

I don't know why ICE detained Fernando Mejia. I read in the Long Island Press that it was because his VISA had expired, and I'm not sure if that's accurate. I contacted the Port Washington Police Chiefs, and they don't know either.

I'm going to find out what his warrant was for, but I'm unsure if ICE will disclose that information to me. I am a local elected official, and ICE reports to the Federal Government.

Listed below is ICE's contact information. I plan to call the New York City Field Office tomorrow morning to obtain any available information.
