17.925 with a nac of 653 and either 9c4 or 94c, Can't remember what I heard but it was on the clear.

171.425 with a nac of 167 and 59c, Traffic heard was encrypted and clear, sound like radio checks with possibly a base unit calling "7180" asking how they copied in clear mode, Didn't gear 7180 but someone came back in encrypted mode.

Usually any NAC of $653 is a Federal Interop System

173.925 NAC $653 is "FIO 1 NORTH" which is linked to NY/NJ Federal interop "FIO 1 NYC" 167.7875 NAC $653. They do a test every Wednesday at 1000 am. FBI NY is the control point. You will hear them call pretty much every Federal agency in the NY/NJ area as well as some OEM's, State Police, Nassau County PD, etc. with access to the system.

I would think it would be kinda strange to hear CBP in Poughkeepsie...Earlier this year I remember some one saying they saw ICE agents at the Social Security Admin in Poughkeepsie.

They have repeaters all-across the country for the CBP

Remember - many of us still refer to the older agencies.
CBP = Old Customs
BP = Border Patrol
ICE = INS

ICE has all CBP channels in their radios as ICE is the primary investigative agency for all CBP referrals. I'm guessing that is what you probably heard since ICE has an office in Castle Point. They also have all of the various counties 911 channels, NYSP, etc. and I've personally heard them come up on SP CAR-CAR numerous times in the Hudson Valley area.

To differentiate between the two, Alpha units are ICE Special Agents. India units are CBP Officers.

165.2375 NAC $301 simplex is CBP TAC 1. The same frequency in repeater mode is NET 1. They should be in the wiki. There is a NET 1 repeater up on Sam's Point (as well as all over the United States).

Just an FYI...ICE is further broken down into two separate components...Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). ICE/HSI is the primary investigative agency for anything criminal from narcotics smuggling to human trafficking, to child pornography, illegal arms exports, multi-national gangs, etc...basically anything with a nexus to a border which could also be an airport, seaport, or something transmitted through the internet. ICE/ERO handles your administrative types of crimes like the Criminal Alien Program, warrants of deportation, overstays, etc. Two completely different things. HSI is really pushing for a split from the immigration side of things because when people think of ICE all they see is Immigration and not the Customs side.

ICE primarily uses the old INS frequencies but can come up on any of the CBP channels at any time.

e911, you said ICE uses the old INS freqs. do they have repeaters in the metro area, or do they just have radio repeaters at the airports, etc.?

Repeaters All through-out the Regions.

Some at the Airports and others that cover a Wide Area Linked System [linked by a common input]

Exactly what ecps92 said. They have local repeaters at airports, seaports and metro areas as well as wide-area linked repeaters throughout the state.

ICE will use 165.2375 in "talk around" mode without the repeaters (at least in upstate new york) when doing surveillance and grabbing illegals.

Did it sound Local ? or might we have a band openning?

Also, next time see if you get it on any other channels.

$864 has been associated with ICE and many of their repeaters are wide-area [multiple linked by a common input]

Sounded local to me. I do not have an external antenna hooked to my 197 just one of them back of the set type. There have been ICE agents in the past at the Social Security Administration and that building is just a few blocks from me. IRS also has a office here in Poughkeepsie as well. And from time to time I have seen homeland security vehicles around every once and a while too.
