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
Endorsing the Evict ICE from 250 Delaware campaign aligns with our values of compassion, justice, and human dignity. We believe that true wellness cannot exist without safety, belonging, and the protection of our neighbors.
One of a Kind Yoga
Freedom from fear & the Arts are synonymous but we cannot have the latter until we achieve the former. As a small business, raising our voice against the systematic injustices perpetrated on our neighbors is the very least we can do. Imagine the impact if a large corporation like Uniland decided to do the same.
The presence of ICE is not making our communities safer — it is tearing families apart, targeting Black and Brown communities, and spreading fear among our neighbors. This is government-sanctioned racial profiling, and we refuse to stand by silently while our communities are terrorized and our neighbors are targeted.
Citizen Action of New York
As movement educators, we believe in the equality of all bodies. As small business owners, we know that it takes people of all backgrounds to build a strong community. There is no place for ICE in our city of good neighbors.
I want all folks to feel welcome to thrive here without the threat of violence against them or their families. Our world needs MORE policies that prioritize safety and healing, not ones that fuel hate and bigotry. ICE OUT!

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 have195 daysto change that.

Add your name.

Thousands of us are calling on Uniland to end the lease and evict ICE from 250 Delaware. We're headed for 5,000 signatures. Sign the petition and add yours.

The Facts

What Happens Inside

  • 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.
