Full Description
Suspicious red van parked outside of home at 6:15 in the morning this is a residential street where everyone and every car is known so it was immediately out of place. Went to investigate further and noticed that all the windows were blacked out and unable to see in. Parked behind van and took picture of the license plate. Went up to the drivers side window and they rolled the window down. Asked who they were and what they were doing infront of the house. They stated they were the Department of Homeland Security and were conducting and investigation. Asked who they were investigating and they stated they could not tell me. Asked for their name and badge numbers and they stated they would not tell me and then proceeded to ask for my name and ID. Stated I would not give them that and stated if they refused to give me their information then I would take a picture for evidence. Went to take a picture and the agents immediately covered their faces with their hands. Stated that they needed to move away from the front of my house as I do not give them permission to be there. Walked back to my car which was parked behind them and sat until they drove off. Immediately called Vestal Police Department to investigate if this was legitimate police business. Spoke to Sergeant Mullins who stated he was unaware of ICE or Homeland Security being in town but to send over the license plate so he could look it up. Emailed him the plate and he called back stating the plate did not come back to any vehicle registered. Stated that he had just received a second call from a resident stating they exact same van was parked infront of their house. He stated that Vestal Police had no notice of ICE or Homeland Security being in the area and it was odd as they are required by US law to inform them of any investigations being conducted in their jurisdiction. Later in the day a post was made in the towns FB page stating that ICE was in the area and attached a picture of their van which was the same van that was parked outside my house that morning. Unsure if they detained anyone.
