Vehicle Fire On I-86 On Monday Night 

From The Campbell Fire Dept:  At approximately 2000 last  evening Campbell was dispatched for the vehicle fire on I86 east of exit 41 in the west bound lane. Car 9 and 902 went enroute. 902 updated that it was a trailer on fire near the rear axles and the tractor appeared to be seperated from the trailer. Car 9 arrived on scene and due to the increasing fire he requested East Campbell to assist with traffic control. I86 wb was then shut down while crews from engine 21 and tanker 2 worked to put the fire out. Amr was on scene checking over the driver.

A second call came out for a medical. 902 broke from the first scene and responded to the second along with 901. Savona was requested for assistance with their medic truck and man power. Shortly there after Amr requested an Lz to be set up at the new station. The fire scene was turned over to B&W Towing. During all of this chief 13 and bradford ambulance assisted with a mva on Meads Creek rd In the detour.

News From The Dept Of Environmental Conservation

The D.E.C. reports that they recently put in several, 30 foot long, log structures in Naples Creek.  That was done to replace the worn out damaged pool digger structures.  These structures were tied into the back of the bank.  Officials from the D.E.C. say this will improve fish and wildlife habitats and increase access to those who want to go fishing in the Naples Creek, a popular location for fishing trout.

Another Steuben County Discussion About ICE 

Democrat County Lawmaker Joe Tobia of Corning said that there a lot of Steuben County residents who don’t want the county sheriff’s department helping ICE.   Tobia stressed this yesterday, during the county’s Public Safety and Corrections Committee meeting. “To me, it was pretty obvious: the people of Steuben County do not want any agreement with ICE,” Tobia stated. Tobia was referring to the Monday, January 26 Public Safety and Corrections meeting, when dozens of residents, reportedly mostly from Corning, spoke during public comment, objecting to ICE.

Three GOP Steuben County lawmakers disagreed with Tobia on this issue. “The majority of people that were here speaking were from your district (Corning),” said Kelly Fitpatrick. “I would tell you that the majority of people in my district (Bath) are not opposed to our association with ICE.” Then Caton/Hornby/ Corning area lawmaker Scott Van Etten spoke up. “I mean, we represent 90,000 people in this county. The fact that 50 of them showed up and 28 of them spoke, does not represent a centilla of the majority,” Van Etten stated. After that, Paul Van Caeseele (R, Hornell) indicated that he thought the whole issue was being exaggerated. “This is overblown,” said “Van Caeseele. “We don’t have this issues here." 

Wvin News contacted Sheriff Jim Allard.  He says that ICE has been coming into Steuben County several times a year, since 2003.  Also, Allard says, before ICE existed, it was I.N.S. coming up to Steuben County and for the same reason: to arrest illegal immigrants. The county Public Safety Chairman Jeff Horton, agreed to ask the sheriff for more details about the ICE teams coming into Steuben County.  

 

Dems Say DOGE Compromised Data Security

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer sent the Administration a letter, demanding a full investigation into the Trump administration’s DOGE workers, possibly using Social Security worker and beneficiary data to work with an advocacy group seeking to “overturn election results in certain states.” The senators say that a court filing revealed multiple flagrant violations of federal data security.  

 

Congressman Nick Langworthy: Here We Go Again 

From Rep. Langworthy:  I am opposed to government shutdowns--and always have been-- but once again we find ourselves in one over Democrats' refusal to fund the Department of Homeland Security.  This is wrong, dangerous, and puts America’s ability to protect our homeland at grave risk. We cannot play political games with our national security. Democrats have been on a quest to defund ICE and implement their sanctuary policies nationwide long before tensions rose in Minnesota. We have the framework for a bipartisan deal that will deliver some common-sense reforms while still prioritizing law and order and the safety of both law enforcement and the public. I'm going to do everything I can to get the government fully funded this week because the American people deserve nothing less.
