A pizza deliveryman made a run to a Brooklyn Army base — where officials took the grub and then handed him over to immigration agents for deportation. 
 
 Pablo Villavicencio, an undocumented immigrant from Ecuador who lives on Long Island with his American wife and kids, says he went to the Fort Hamilton base Friday to deliver an order of pasta to a sergeant — flashing his city-issued IDNYC card for entry, as he has done before. 
 
 But once inside, Villavicencio says another guard demanded more identification — and officials called US Immigration and Customs Enforcement when he came up empty-handed. 
 
 “There was a different security guard and he told me I needed to go get another pass to enter . . . A tall man with dark skin started to ask me many questions, he asked me about why I didn’t have any Social Security card,” Villavicencio told The Post by phone from immigration detention. 
 
 “He called the NYPD and the NYPD told him I didn’t have any record, that I was clean. But the man said, ‘I don’t care.’ He said I need to keep waiting and he called ICE.” 
 
 The spaghetti-loving sarge, to whom Villavicencio has delivered before with no problem, came to his defense, to no avail. 
 
 “The sergeant was telling the man … he had no business calling ICE, he just has to verify I had no problems and let [me] through,” Villavicencio said. 
 
 A Fort Hamilton spokeswoman says Villavicencio was directed to obtain a pass when he couldn’t produce a proper ID — but when he signed a waiver for a background check, “an active [ICE] warrant was discovered.” 
 
 An agency spokeswoman said Villavicencio has been an “ICE fugitive” since 2010, when he failed to comply with a voluntary departure order. 
 
 He’s been married to a US citizen five years and they have two young daughters. He applied for a green card in February — but is now slated for deportation within days. 
 
 “It’s cruel that they’re going to separate my daughters from him. He’s supporting the family and now I’m going to be by myself with them,” said his wife, Sandra Chica, 38, weeping. 
 
 A regular at Nonna Delia’s restaurant in College Point, Queens, where Villavicencio has worked for nine months, said the arrest left fellow employees “hurting.” 
 
 “He’s a really good guy,” said Cyrus Zavieh, 48, a professional clown whom Villavicencio booked to perform at his daughter’s birthday party next month. 
 
 “He’s gone there before for deliveries and it’s never been an issue or problem. ” 
 
 Gregory Dragonetti, 50, manager of Campania Pizza near the base, says his workers all go through a military background check to get a pass that allows them in; otherwise, they’d need two forms of ID. 
 
 But a worker at Nonno’s Pizza on Third Avenue in Bay Ridge, right near the base, said delivery guys either simply show their driver’s license or drop off food at the gate. 
 
 “I’m surprised . . . They’re always nice to us and they order a lot from here,” said Tony Rodriguez. 
 
 A Pentagon spokesman noted there has been no policy change, but said the base commander might have tightened screening. 
 
 Councilman Justin Brannan (D-Bay Ridge) demanded Villavicencio’s release. “Is our city or our nation any safer now that Pablo the pizza deliveryman is off the streets? It’s insane — the message it sends is scary and ridiculous,” he said. 
 
 But Rep. Dan Donovan (R-SI, Brooklyn) said, “Liberal activists are attacking ICE agents and military personnel for following the law in detaining an immigrant reportedly here illegally.”

 Pablo Villavicencio, an Ecuadorean immigrant, was delivering pizza to U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hamilton last Friday when he was detained and handed over to immigration authorities. 
 
 In a statement, the Fort Hamilton Public Affairs Office says security officers discovered an active ICE warrant during a routine background check. And that the installation's commanders are authorized to take "reasonably necessary and lawful measures [to] protect installation personnel and property." 
 
 At a news conference outside the base on Wednesday, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams called it "unimaginable" that Villavicencio went so quickly "from delivery to detention." 
 
 Villavicencio's wife, Sandra Chica, appeared at the news conference with the couple's two young children, who were both born in the U.S. 
 
 "This is cruel that they're going to separate my daughters from him," Chica said. "He was supporting the family. Now I'm going to be by myself, along with two kids." 
 
 Chica says she is a U.S. citizen and that Villavicencio had applied for his green card in February. 
 
 City Councilman Justin Brannan, whose district includes Fort Hamilton, said that Villavicencio worked for a pizzeria in Queens and that he had delivered to the Army base in Brooklyn many times before, without incident. 
 
 "Why was this time any different from any other times Pablo came to deliver food to the Army base?" Brannan asked. "Why was Pablo singled out?" 
 
 According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Villavicencio was ordered to leave the country by an immigration judge in 2010, but he stayed in the U.S. ICE spokeswoman Rachael Yong Yow confirmed that Villavicencio was detained by military police officers and turned over to ICE and that he remains in the agency's custody pending deportation. 
 
 Brannan questioned why authorities would arrest a man who was simply trying to deliver pizza. 
 
 "This is absolutely ridiculous. We're tearing families apart," Brannan said. "Are we any safer today because they took a pizza delivery guy off the street?" 

 Food delivery. Sanctuary. Those are often the anchors for the more than half a million undocumented immigrants who live and work in New York City. 
 
 But an incident at the United States Army base in Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn, last week has called those foundations into question, and provoked new tension in the city’s battle with federal immigration authorities over protections for immigrants without legal status. 
 
 Pablo Villavicencio Calderon, 35, an undocumented immigrant, was making a delivery from a brick-oven pizza restaurant in Queens to the Army base next to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge on Friday before lunchtime. 
 
 According to his wife, Sandra Chica, he presented a New York City identification card, as he had done in the past. The card, provided through a program called IDNYC, was supposed to give undocumented immigrants a method of proving their identification when dealing with city agencies, including the schools system and the Police Department, neither of which is allowed to ask about immigration status. 

 An undocumented immigrant was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers after trying to deliver a pizza to a military post in Brooklyn, New York, according to reports and city officials. 
 
 Spanish-language publications El Diario NY and Telemundo 47, as well as other outlets, reported that Pablo Villavicencio, originally from Ecuador, was arrested on Friday while delivering an order at Fort Hamilton garrison in south Brooklyn. 
 
 Villavicencio spoke to the New York Post from detention, saying he was delivering food to the military base "and they detained me." An ICE spokeswoman told the paper that a judge had ordered Villavicencio deported in 2010. 
 
 "I have been there before and always go in and never have had any problems, they actually know me and the sergeant knows me for some time doing delivery," Villavicencio told the Post. The paper reports he and his wife, an American citizen, have two young daughters and he had applied for a green card. 
 
 "Last Friday there was a different security guard and he told me I needed to go get another pass to enter," he said. "And I proceeded to do that. A tall man with dark skin started to ask me many questions, he asked me about why I didn't have any Social Security card." 
 
 According to Villavicencio, that man called the New York City Police Department (NYPD) "and the NYPD told him I didn't have any record, that I was clean. But the man said 'I don't care,' he said I need to keep waiting and he called ICE." 
 
 A Fort Hamilton spokesperson provided its version of events, saying that on Friday at approximately 11 a.m. "an individual attempted to gain access to Fort Hamilton to make a delivery without valid Department of Defense identification." 
 
 "The person was directed to the Visitor Control Center to obtain a daily pass. Upon signing a waiver permitting a background check, Department of the Army Access Control standard for all visitors, an active Immigration and Customs Enforcement warrant was discovered on file. This prompted the Department of Emergency Services personnel to contact the proper authorities, and transport the individual to DES for further processing, and released to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement," the spokesperson said. 
 
 On Wednesday, New York City Councilman Justin Brannan and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams spoke out against the incident during a press conference. 
 
 "Tell me how this is American," Brannan tweeted. "Tell me how taking Pablo off the street makes our nation safer. I'm listening." 
 
 Today @BPEricAdams and I stood with Sandra and her two daughters. Her husband and their dad Pablo is facing deportation because he delivered a pizza to an army base. Tell me how this is American. Tell me how taking Pablo off the street makes our nation safer. I'm listening. pic.twitter.com/L2xqv940tg — Justin Brannan (@JustinBrannan) June 6, 2018 
 
 I join @JustinBrannan and @TheNYIC in seeking answers over the arrest of Pablo Villavicencio, a husband, father, and hard-working New Yorker who went from delivering a pizza to #FortHamilton to being detained by @ICEGov. This is not making our city safer. pic.twitter.com/yH82Ygvkuy — Eric Adams (@BPEricAdams) June 6, 2018 
 
 The New York Immigration Commission also issued a statement, saying it is "absolutely disgusting when the strongest military in the world punches down by going after pizza delivery men." 
 
 "Immigrant New Yorkers like Pablo Villavicencio provide for their families by working hard and making sacrifices, they shouldn't be ripped from their communities and their crying children for pursuing the ever dimmer American dream," Steven Choi, executive director of the coalition, said in a statement. 
 
 A rally against ICE was planned for Wednesday evening in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, at 6 p.m. local time.
– Pizza deliveryman Pablo Villavicencio says he'd delivered food to Brooklyn's Fort Hamilton many times before. But last week, the 35-year-old undocumented Ecuadorean immigrant found himself detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the US Army base. Now he faces deportation, the New York Times reports. CBS News and a writer for the Forward note the arrest of Villavicencio, who's married to 38-year-old US citizen Sandra Chica and has two young daughters, first started making the rounds in Spanish-language media after Chica says her husband showed up at Fort Hamilton on Friday, food order in hand, and showed his IDNYC card, one often held by immigrants. Staff demanded other ID and then ran a background check, which revealed an open deportation order on Villavicencio from 2010. In a call from immigration detention, Villavicencio tells the New York Post a staff sergeant he'd delivered to before tried to intervene on his behalf, but ICE was called and Villavicencio was taken away. An ICE rep tells the Times Villavicencio has no criminal record; Chica says her husband applied for a green card in February. "It's cruel that they're going to separate my daughters from him," she tells the Post. "He's supporting the family and now I'm going to be by myself with them." Rep. Dan Donovan says that "liberal activists are attacking ICE agents and military personnel for following the law in detaining an immigrant reportedly here illegally." But City Councilman Justin Brannan, who appeared at a Wednesday presser, per NPR, asked: "Are we any safer today because they took a pizza delivery guy off the street?" A GoFundMe for the family has so far raised more than $13,000.
