Manhattan is among the cities on a list for planned ICE offices, according to federal purchasing documents.
Federal officials are sending hundreds of new Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and staff across the country to increase immigration enforcement in big cities like New York and Houston and smaller towns.
The records, released last week, show ICE is deploying roughly 330 officers and staff to more than 40 states and Puerto Rico. The move follows a massive funding boost and staffing increase for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE.
