A U.S. district judge has ruled that NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration must comply with a subpoena from federal immigration authorities that seeks information about residents of a homeless shelter in the Bronx.

On Friday, District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that the city administration must hand over information pursuant to the subpoena from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

ICE claimed it was investigating whether any residents at the facility were subject to deportation. The agency said a special master would oversee the investigation and limit the information shared with ICE.

ICE claimed it was investigating whether any residents at the facility were subject to deportation.

Isn't this the opposite of how this should work? Instead of 'we want to see everything to confirm if any of these people on our list are on your list' shouldn't it be 'we have reason to believe this specific person is on your list, give us their information from your list'

    If you read the court decision it's clear that ICE kind of IS trying to do that. They seem to have reason to believe that there are certain men at a specific shelter who illegally entered the United States that are operating under a false names who have committed one of 8 specific "serious crimes" (murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, assault, grand larceny, burglary, and assault of a law enforcement officer.)

    What they want is for NYC to produce the list of males at a certain homeless facility in a certain age range along with their previous or current criminal convictions so they can tie the fake names to the real ones they are looking for.

    I'm not sure I agree with what ICE is doing but it's far less intrusive and reaching than what the headline suggests.

    Interesting to note that parts of the decision are redacted and that the unredacted version will be filed under seal.
