UnverifiedBruce Blakeman, Nassau County remarks, Aug. 14, 2026 (reported by News10 NBC) · Aug 15, 2026
“Blakeman: Nassau's ICE partnership removed 2,000 migrants with criminal records in one year, with no raids at churches, daycare centers, schools or hospitals”
Our Verdict — Why
Neither Nassau County nor ICE has published a public dataset supporting the 2,000 figure or a breakdown of criminal histories, and the county's 287(g) task-force model does not require public reporting of removals. ICE does not publish removal counts by local partner agency. The claim about the absence of sensitive-location enforcement is likewise uncheckable against any published record. Rated unverified — not disproven, but no primary source exists to confirm it. Reassess if Nassau or DHS releases agreement-level data before the Aug 25 wind-down deadline.
