CATO, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) -- New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is speaking out, denouncing ICE raids conducted in Cato and Fulton on Thursday morning.

Hochul stated that over 40 adults have been detained, including parents of at least a dozen children.

Hochul released a statement, reading in part:

"I’ve made it clear: New York will work with the federal government to secure our borders and deport violent criminals, but we will never stand for masked ICE agents separating families and abandoning children.

“Today’s raids will not make New York safer. What they did was shatter hard-working families who are simply trying to build a life here, just like millions of immigrants before them.

“These actions fly in the face of New York’s values. As Governor, I will always stand against this cruelty.”
