MEDFORD, NY (February 9, 2026) – Suffolk Credit Union was made aware of activity involving community demonstrators and federal law enforcement that took place yesterday, February 8, 2026, in the parking area of our Riverhead branch. Suffolk Credit Union was not notified that ICE was planning to use our branch parking lot, and such activities were not authorized or coordinated with the Credit Union. The Credit Union is grateful to the Southampton Town police for maintaining peace and that everyone walked away without incident.
