EVICT ICE!
FROM 250 DELAWARE
Uniland leases 250 Delaware to DHS for New York State ICE operations. We are Buffalonians organizing to convince them not to renew.

WHEN A WALL AWAY
FEELS LIKE A WORLD AWAY.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE AT 250 DELAWARE
On the first floor, there’s a fine dining restaurant, and across the lobby is the entrance to a luxury hotel. People come and go from the building every day without realizing that just a few floors above them, on the seventh floor, ICE is deciding the fate of our neighbors—whether they will be allowed to remain in the city they call home or face indefinite detention and deportation.
WE HAVE 1 YEAR
TO CHANGE THAT.
THE FACTS
Buffalo DHS Operations
- Downtown Buffalo's 250 Delaware Avenue houses four ICE offices that control operations, detention management, reporting, logistics, and administration for all of New York State outside of NYC.
- Every ICE action in Western New York, Central New York, the Finger Lakes, Southern Tier, North Country, Mohawk Valley, Capital Region, and Mid-Hudson—all of it—is coordinated from 250 Delaware.
Who Owns 250 Delaware
- Uniland Development (the Montante family) owns the building and Delaware North (the Jacobs family) is the anchor tenant. In 2013, the Erie County Industrial Development Agency approved $9.6 million in property and sales tax breaks for this project—public money that subsidized a building now profiting from ICE operations.
- Today, Uniland collects $2 million per year from ICE’s lease, while taxpayers continue to subsidize the building through generous tax abatement that cost Buffalo and Erie County $791,000 in 2024 alone.
