Yonkers police to day laborers: Don’t go to Rye, NY

September

At a Sept. 17 morning meeting on Yonkers Avenue where hundreds of day laborers congregate, Yonkers police officials warned day laborers not to accept jobs with contractors who are going to Rye. Roger Jara, a day laborer leader in Yonkers, said today that police warned them not to go to Rye because police in that community are collaborating with immigration enforcement officials and detaining illegal immigrants. Yonkers police met with day laborers on Sept. 17 to discuss residents’ complaints about day laborers harassing young women and workers’ complaints that some contractors have not paid them their wages.
