A federal judge has ordered New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to comply with a subpoena from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) concerning a city-run homeless shelter in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx. The shelter is on East 141st Street at Bruckner Boulevard.
According to the report, the subpoena seeks information including the names and birthdates of men who live at the shelter, who are not United States citizens and have criminal histories. The order also states that the federal government is investigating whether anyone living at the shelter is subject to deportation. Careful, fair handling of records that name individual men calls for truth and fairness toward each person listed (Proverbs 18:17).
The facility is described as a 2,200-bed single men’s migrant shelter. It drew strong public reaction in early 2025, which led officials to push back against it. In January 2025, Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson said, “The Bronx should not have to bear the brunt of this ongoing crisis.”
Residents, community leaders and businesses also raised concerns about public safety when the facility was announced for the area.
