WOODSIDE, Queens – Scammers are allegedly targeting immigrants in New York City following arrests last week by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, and now, a Queens city councilman Jimmy Van Bramer is holding a rally Tuesday in response.

There are reports of uniformed men who claim to be federal immigration or ICE agents stopping people who appear to be Latino, according to Van Bramer.

Those stopped are then given an ultimatum: Pay up or be deported.

During an incident on Monday, four men wearing "ICE jackets" approached a man near his Woodside home, claimed to be agents, and said they would only let him go if he paid them off, according to Van Bramer's office.

The victim, who has a visa and only speaks Spanish, then allegedly handed over $250 in cash.

“This is a scam that happens every so often. ... We're confident it's happened more than once,” said a spokeswoman for the councilman.

The NYPD is investigating these claims, but so far, have not found any victims or perpetrators.

Van Bramer plans to discuss the alleged scams with community members Tuesday at 5 p.m. at the Emerald Isle Immigration Center in Woodside, Queens.

Locals are rattled in the wake of last week's arrests of 41 undocumented immigrants in the city — most of whom are allegedly criminals.

"There's definitely a climate of fear," immigration attorney Cesar Vargas said. "We have families, parents who are reluctant to go outside to the store, to church or meetings because they're afraid."

Fears have increased since the election of President Donald Trump, but some officials say the recent arrests are nothing new.

To put it in perspective, last year, when President Barack Obama was in office, more than 240,000 undocumented immigrants were arrested and deported — up from 2015. Specifically in New York, 60 to 80 people were being arrested every month.

A record number of repair and improvement projects are happening along subway lines.

That means riders have to be ready for service delays and changes.

Along the 7 line, MTA New York City Transit has been installing signal technology called "Communication-Based Train Control." The project, which allows more trains to run, started about a decade ago.

Riders will be rallying at the 40th Street Station in Sunnyside, Queens at 8 a.m. Thursday morning to call for better service and communication. Access Queens has organized the event with local elected leaders.

“MTA Chairman Lhota toured the 7 line with local elected officials including the Council member a few weeks ago, ahead of this week’s announcement that tens of millions of dollars are going to be spent to repair and paint the 7 line structure," said the MTA in a statement.

"Also this past month, Transit President Byford told MTA Board members that he’s very unhappy about delays and is aggressively pushing the contractor installing the brand-new signal system on the 7 line to work harder and complete the job sooner than the contractor’s new projection.  We appreciate our customers’ patience while these projects are underway; when they’re complete, the 7 line will have some of the newest infrastructure in the entire subway system.”

The $45 million contract will repair structural steel and paint the 101-year-old elevated 7 train line from 72nd to 104th Streets in Queens. Stations in Sunnyside will be done when the first phase is complete. The MTA says it will take two years.

"Service has been generally poor over the last several weeks with peak times being particularly awful with long waits and overcrowded platforms and trains," said a statement from the office of NYC Councilmember Jimmy Van Bramer.

"This comes after years of ongoing work to the 7-Line with constant shutdowns, service changes, delayed service, and disruption to riders, community members and local businesses."

Councilmember Van Bramer has invited MTA NYC Transit President Andy Byford to a town hall meeting to discuss transportation.
