Buffalo Targets Dumpers with New Cameras | Buffalo News

Buffalo’s cracking down hard on illegal dumping—especially near the old Wonder Bread Factory—with new trap cameras set to catch offenders, who face $2,200 fines and misdemeanor charges. Residents like Kevin Hayes of Buffalo ReUse, who lives next to one of the city’s worst dumping zones, support the crackdown and say fencing the property could help. The site, owned by Harry Stinson—who also owns the vacant Buffalo Grand Hotel—is labeled an eyesore by Councilmember Leah Halton-Pope, who demands accountability from property owners. With Stinson already owing the city $175,000 for code violations and abandonment proceedings ongoing for the hotel, the message is clear: own your land, secure it, and keep it clean—or face the consequences.

Sheriff Defies New York’s ICE Ban | Buffalo News

New York’s new “Local Cops, Local Crimes Act” is forcing 12 law enforcement agencies—including Steuben County—to end their ICE partnerships, sparking legal and political firestorms. Sheriff James Allard defends the collaboration, saying it boosts safety by ensuring body cams and reducing covert ICE operations. But Attorney General Letitia James says the deals violate state law banning local cops from aiding civil immigration enforcement. With the law already in effect, Allard claims it’s unconstitutional and is awaiting county guidance, while noting the ICE deals brought in $130K in revenue. The standoff could head to court, as New York grapples with federal immigration policy and public safety concerns.
