COURTHOUSE,
Dec 17 – On December 17 the
SDNY US Attorney's Office
announced the unsealing of an
Indictment charging 12 men
with a drug dealing and
weapons conspiracy in the
Johnson Houses in East Harlem
- and a 12:15 pm press
conference. Inner
City Press went, its second
time of the day in 26 Federal
Plaza, asked two questions and
live tweeted, here
OK - now at SDNY
US Attorney presser on arrests
in Johnson Houses in East
Harlem. Inner City Press in
April covered Bragg-n-Tisch
presser on "take-down" of gang
in that housing project. Is
this the same gang (that is,
not taken-down) or new?
Jose Perez,
FBI Operations Director, in
from DC: FBI is ending the
year on a roll, takedowns in
Detroit (Bay City) LA, etc.
FBI partners with Homeland
Security NYC FBI Raia: This is
operation Empire Heat - 5
borough and some outlying
countries - Long
Island
Inner City Press
asked, what happened to the
Wusky takedown? And how will
deeming fentanyl a weapon of
mass destruction be applied in
New York?
Clayton: Fentanyl
has killed 100,000 people. We
are listening to what people
want
Clayton
explained Federal versus state
indictment in three works:
continuity of custody.
In the
afternoon Inner City Press
went to the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrates court, where
co-defendant Hernandez was
ordered detained as a danger
to the community. Continuity
of custody indeed.
The case is USA
v. Gonzalez, et al.,
1:25-cr-577 (Stein)
