The removal of a mother and her three children from a home in the Sackets Harbor area for relocation in a detention center in Texas drew fire Tuesday from New York state's top elected leaders.

According to school officials and the New York Immigration Coalition, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers removed the family and four others last week from the North Harbor Dairy farm located just outside the village in Jefferson County.

The three children attended schools in the Sackets Harbor Central School District, home of President Donald Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan.

In a statement released Tuesday, Gov. Kathy Hochul demanded that the family be returned to New York, and added she believes ICE needs "to immediately answer" for their actions.

"There is absolutely no justification for masked ICE agents to rip an innocent family — including a child in the third grade — from their home," Hochul posted on social media.

State Attorney General Letitia James said her office was in touch with local officials in Sackets Harbor.

Last week, ICE officers, while making a separate arrest, entered another home on the farm property without a judicial warrant where they discovered the mother and her kids, according to the immigration coalition and school officials. 

Sackets Harbor Central School District Superintendent Jennifer Gaffney said the three kids are a third-grader, a tenth-grader and an eleventh-grader. The family was transported to an ICE detention facility in Karnes County, Texas, New York Immigration Coalition President and CEO Muad Awawdeh.

“Their friends are wondering where they are. Their teachers are distraught,” Gaffney said Monday.

ICE and Homan have not responded to requests for comment.
