ICE agents are active on West Chester streets. 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity has previously been reported in Kennett Square and at West Chester University; now we have a video of plain-clothes agents picking up an individual on the corner of High and Market Sts, in West Chester.

The video was taken at 6:30 a.m. last Thursday and shows two individuals escorting a third man into an unmarked Jeep, red and blue lights flashing in the rear. A third agent follows behind. While the first two agents appear to be unmarked, one individual is seen carrying a gun, and wearing what appears to be bulletproof vests. On the third agent an ‘HSI’ patch is visible on the font of his vest which stands for Homeland Security Investigations.

In the only audio, you can hear one agent say. “Alright, we got a warrant.” ICE agents are known to operate in civilian clothes with few distinguishing marks – making it easier for them to blend in with the general public.    

No other reports of arrests have been shared at this time.
