Multiple people were taken away from a Honesdale restaurant by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on May 29, according to Honesdale Mayor Derek Williams. He was alerted to the agency's presence at the courthouse, where he saw agents parked out front. "About a half dozen of them went inside the courthouse, then came back out. They got in vehicles, moved around to the back of the courthouse in their vehicles. We followed them around there and witnessed them put on their gear," Williams said.

Rite Aid is shutting down stores across the country, including in Wayne County, following a second bankruptcy filing in May. The Rite Aid outside Honesdale, opposite the Route 6 Plaza in Texas Township, is closing Wednesday, June 4, store manager Chris Depew said. Depew stated that Weis Markets bought out the pharmacy business, which means Rite Aid customers can have their prescriptions filled at Weis across the road at the Route 6 Plaza. Customers can also make other arrangements, he said.
