The mayor of Ossining says a man was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the town.
The incident happened near the Ossining High School.
It happened near a wake for a teen killed in a recent crash.
Mayor Rika Levin says the man was not attending the wake but was arrested in the vicinity.
The wake was for 18-year-old Kevin Zhagui-Moroch, a recent high school graduate who was killed in a crash in Wallkill on Monday.
An Ossining High School soccer game was also underway.
"There is a time and place for federal law enforcement to carry out its responsibilities. Conducting an ICE operation in the immediate vicinity of a grieving family, our high school students, and a school athletic event—without any advance notification to local officials or the school district—was deeply upsetting and, in my view, unnecessarily disruptive to our community,” Levin wrote in a statement.
The mayor says the man was wanted on previous outstanding criminal charges. The identity of the man arrested was not released.
