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 have285 daysto change that.
The Facts
Read more →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.
- And it's not just coordination and administration — 250 Delaware has holding cells where adults and children are held for days before transfer or deportation.
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.
