Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration must turn over the names and birth dates of certain residents at a city-run Bronx homeless shelter to federal immigration authorities, according to a sweeping federal ruling.
US District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled Friday that the city must comply with a subpoena seeking identifying information about some male residents at the Bruckner shelter in Mott Haven.
“The City has not shown that producing this list would be unduly burdensome,” Kaplan wrote, following months of disputes between city officials and federal authorities.
ICE says the residents’ names, birth dates and records are relevant to an investigation into whether any Bruckner residents may be subject to deportation.
Although ICE initially sought information on every resident, the agency agreed to let a special master determine which individuals have “certain serious criminal histories,” according to the filing.
Since August, ICE has issued four separate subpoenas seeking information from Mamdani’s team about residents at several city-run homeless shelters. City officials have opposed each request.

The city rejected ICE’s first request, dated Aug. 6, for resident information from two municipal shelters, calling the subpoena “an improper fishing expedition lacking any legitimate investigative purpose.”
City Hall did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
The 2,200-bed Bruckner shelter was created inside a vacant South Bronx storage facility and drew fierce opposition from local residents after opening in 2025.
The city-operated facility serves as an emergency migrant shelter and became home to asylum-seeking men relocated from the troubled migrant tent complex on Randall’s Island.
In February, the Mamdani administration unveiled a plan to close the shelter by the end of 2026 and transition its residents into the city’s broader homeless shelter system.
