Federal Judge Rules NYC Must Give ICE Names of Bronx Shelter Residents

U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan enforced an ICE administrative subpoena, ordering New York City to hand over the names and birth dates of residents of a Bronx homeless shelter who have “certain serious criminal histories,” as identified by a special master. ICE first subpoenaed two city shelters in August 2025; the city called it “an improper fishing expedition” that undermines sanctuary laws, which Kaplan called “speculation… unsupported by the record.”
