It's Wednesday in New York City, where Meredith Trainor’s daughter was 11 months old when caseworkers from the Administration for Children's Services took her from her arms without a court order, according to a new federal lawsuit.
Days earlier, Trainor and the girl's father had brought their daughter to the emergency room, where doctors determined that she'd ingested cocaine.
Hours after they were released from the hospital, the father — who'd told Trainor he had a history with substance abuse, according to her lawsuit — was arrested.
Several days later, caseworkers returned to Trainor's home and forcibly took her daughter, keeping her for five days before a family court judge ordered ACS to return the baby to her mother.
City officials said all 250 homeless men residing inside the massive Midtown shelter known as Bellevue, which is set to be shuttered by the Mamdani administration, have been relocated to Brooklyn.
The Mamdani administration says the city shouldn't have to provide legal defense for former Mayor Eric Adams in a lawsuit alleging Adams sexually abused an NYPD colleague more than three decades ago.
Employees at the Ulta Beauty store on East 86th Street allegedly refused service to a Black customer and her young daughter, telling the pair they don’t do their “kind of hair,” according to a racial discrimination lawsuit filed in federal court.
The MTA is suing the Trump administration for withholding federal funding for the expansion of the Second Avenue subway into East Harlem.
Almost every evening during the holy month, Mamdani has met with different groups to pray and break his fast: delivery workers, police, firefighters, teachers, gender-based violence survivors, and mosque congregations across the city.
