Capital Region Sanctuary Coalition has documented a confirmed PLATE SWAP in August 2026. Two confirmed ICE vehicles were documented with the same license plate. On August 4, 2026, a Black Ford F-150 pick up truck with the license plate MCA2105 was involved in a detention on Hackett Blvd. This same plate, MCA2105 was documented on August 10, 2026 on a Black Nissan Pathfinder involved in detentions on Railroad Ave. and was also reported when agents knocked on a residents’ door in Albany. On August 18, 2026, a Black Ford F-150 pick up truck was documented parked on Madison Ave in the morning hours. ICE has been parking in residential neighborhoods, chasing down community members driving to work, camping out at entrances and exits to big box stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot. Changing civil license plates on cars is another documented tactic to ambush and kidnap community members.

Now that we have your attention. . . HOW TO SPOT ICE 👀🧊: The most common vehicles in the Capital region are mostly SUVs, some trucks, and some sedans. The most common makes and models in the region are Dodge Durangos, Ford Explorers, Ford Expeditions, Chevy Tahoes, among other models. The most common colors are black, gray, silver, and white while some are burgundy, green or red.

🚗 🚙 Buddy System . . . ICE TENDS TO TRAVEL IN GROUPS OF 2 OR MORE:
If you see one ICE vehicle, there are likely 1 - 5 others. Parked at the other side of the intersection or around the corner.
• Notice which way the vehicles are facing. Look out for cars idling especially in the early morning hours waiting for people to head to work. Watch for heavily tinted law enforcement vehicles driving erratically or speeding.
• When reporting a sighting, note where they are located what city, intersection, landmark. Note if the vehicle is parked or moving... and which way they they heading.

🚨HIDDEN LIGHTS: “Hideaway lights” allow law enforcement vehicles to look like any other vehicle. Look for hidden lights in the grille of the car and along the edges of both rear and front windows.

▪️Special treatment . . . HEAVILY TINTED: Most ICE vehicles are heavily tinted making it difficult to see when someone is inside and if that person

‼️ A week ago, on Monday August 10, 2026, ICE detained at least 33 people in the Capital Region in over 15 incidents. Before noon, at least 33 of our neighbors were taken from our communities. This includes a family of four with two children who were separated and sent to two detention centers (one of them being the notorious Dilley Detention Center in Texas). These are only the specific incidents that we know about and many others may have been taken this day.

In addition to these incidents, ICE was seen patrolling in many city neighborhoods, provoking fear and panic in communities. CRSC is working to document these incidents and will publish additional details as soon as possible.

If you have witnessed ICE or your loved one was detained, please reach out for support: Capital Region Sanctuary Coalition. Consider making a one time or recurring monthly donation to support families in the aftermath of detention. venmo: crsc-mutualaid

Since July 2026, NY’s Capital Region has seen a significant increase in ICE activity.

We have seen:
- An increase in reported and confirmed ICE sightings
- An increase in detentions
- 15+ new vehicles and many new agents in our area
- New tactics like “flooding the zone” in Albany on 7/26, 8/4, and 8/10, provoking fear and panic across our communities.

This is activity that has been documented by CRSC, representing the minimum of the regional activity, and there is likely more activity not captured in this data. Note: Aug. 2026 data is from just the first half of the month, 8/1 - 8/17, 2026.
