We are a coalition of Buffalonians calling on Uniland to EVICT ICE.

We are clear that ICE, policing, over-policing, and the occupation of Black and Brown neighborhoods are not separate crises but interconnected mechanisms of the same system.
Colored Girls Bike Too
We stand with our neighbors against the violent abuses of human rights ICE is committing daily. Our city should be a leader in housing, education, and healthcare — not the destruction of families.
BreadHive
State-sanctioned bigotry and violence must be strongly and consistently resisted. No-one is illegal. America was never great. The future is what the people struggle to make it.
Burning Books
As a queer community we have long stood in solidarity with immigrant rights — and we know that an attack on one marginalized community is an attack on all of us.
The UBelong Coalition is outraged at the brazen abduction of our UB students. We demand their immediate release and stand in total solidarity with all targeted by ICE.
U-Belong Coalition
We see ICE enforcement as an extension of the same systems of militarism and violence we have always opposed. We stand with immigrants and all people targeted by state violence.
Peace Action New York State
Supporting the environment means creating a world that supports all life — including people. WNY EA stands with our immigrant neighbors and calls for policies that protect families and communities.
WNY Environmental Alliance
Communities should have a say over how we care for each other. The people of Buffalo do not consent to authoritarian policing and the forceful removal of our neighbors.
Rights of Nature WNY
We are firmly opposed to ICE terror, on and off campus. Surveillance funded by our own money makes this a student issue, a workers issue, and a revolutionary issue.
Liberate Buffalo State

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

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.
