SDNY EXCLUSIVE, Jan 2 – US Homeland Security Investigations asked the City of New York of a list of those in the homeless shelter at 825 East 141st Street in the South Bronx who are not citizens or nationals of the US and retain criminal histories for crimes ranging from murder and rape to burglary and assault of a law enforcement officer.
The Adams administration, described as previously working cooperatively, has deemed this subpoena too broad, triggering a lawsuit filed on December 9 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, where Inner City Press found it.
The US Attorney's Office, proposing a briefing schedule of January 2 and January 9, notes that "the parties have conferred cooperatively."
As Inner City Press noted on December 9, there wa a new NYC Administration taking office on January 1. Inner City Press covered the inauguration, and a first announced legal action, into the Pinnacle Group bankruptcy. Now this:
On January 2 the City's outside law firm filed a heavily redacted opposition, leaving unredacted that as of March 1, 2025 there were 100,200 homeless people residing in NYC shelters; on December 22, 2025, 1921 in the Brucker shelter. Watch this site.
The reassigned case is now USA v. City of New York, 1:25-mc-559 (Kaplan)
