Mamdani Admin Must Hand ICE the Names of NYC Homeless Shelter Residents: Court

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration will be forced to hand ICE the names and birthdays of certain residents of a city-run Bronx homeless shelter, according to a bombshell federal ruling.

US District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled Friday that the city must comply with a subpoena from federal immigration officials to provide identifying information for some male residents at the Bruckner shelter in Mott Haven.

ICE claims the residents’ names, birthdays, and records are relevant to an investigation into whether any Bruckner shelter residents are subject to deportation.

Though ICE initially requested the names of all residents, the agency has allowed a special master to be appointed to identify residents only with “certain serious criminal histories,” the filing said.

The city-run facility is an emergency migrant shelter that became a home for asylum-seeking men displaced from the troubled Randall’s Island migrant tent city.
