A federal judge ruled the Mamdani administration must give ICE the names and birthdates of certain male residents at a Bronx shelter. The order is limited to people with serious criminal histories, as identified by a special master.

Federal judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that the Mamdani administration must give U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement the names and birthdates of certain male residents at a large shelter on Bruckner Boulevard in the Bronx, plus records that could help identify them. ICE had originally sought information on all residents, but the order is narrowed to people with serious criminal histories, as identified by a special master. The city had fought the subpoena. Advocates including the New York Immigration Coalition are urging the city to appeal, citing its sanctuary policies. The shelter is the city's last emergency migrant housing facility, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani has said he plans to phase it out by the end of the year.
