    A Long Island man was arrested and charged with manslaughter in the fatal stabbing of a man whom he caught stealing the wheels off his car this week, cops said. Jacob Alvarenga Mejia, 28, was at his home on Jericho Turnpike in Bellerose Village around 1:30 a.m. May 13, when he spotted three men trying to steal the wheel rims and tires from his parked 2023 Toyota Highlander, Nassau County Police said. Mejia walked outside with a large kitchen knife and stabbed one of the men, Luis Pena, 22, of the Bronx, multiple times in the upper torso, authorities said....

    A Memorial Day weekend town hall with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) devolved into pandemonium Friday night as the crowd booed and shouted insults while she attempted to discuss her policies on immigration, Ukraine funding, and the debt limit. The event took place in the Queens neighborhood of Corona and the venue appeared to be packed with constituents. Some in the stands held signs proclaiming, “America First,” and “Stop funding Ukraine.” AOC attempted to discuss the debt limit before being shouted down: “We should eliminate the debt limit in the United States because of the constitutional…” One man yelled “American citizens...
  • NYC immigration court backlog so flooded migrants could wait for up to a decade

    Massive and ever-growing backlogs in NYC immigration courts mean migrants who want to become US citizens have to wait about three years to have their cases heard — and up to a decade to complete the entire process. At least 127,000 pending cases were mired in court at the start of the month and that number is expected to exponentially grow as the one-year deadline to file for asylum approaches for the more than 70,000 migrants who have arrived in New York City in recent months. The backlog is fueled by New York’s sanctuary city status — and asylum applicants...

    A town hall meeting held by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Queens on Friday night descended into farce as the firebrand was called a 'piece of sh*t' and berated for her views on Ukraine, migrants, drag queen story hours and the debt ceiling. The meeting was held in the Corona neighborhood, AOC's constituency. Her constituents were not in welcoming mood, especially when the town hall moved to to the question and answer stage. 'American citizens before migrants,' one heckler yelled. Others chanted: 'America first.' Another shouted: 'We are on the verge of nuclear war with Russia. Are you going to stop...

    An Albany mother claims she was left “angry” and “betrayed” when the apple pie she thought she was buying from a local ShopRite turned out to be a cherry pie, leading her daughter to get sick when she ate a piece of it, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Albany County Supreme Court. The supermarket allegedly “misbranded and mislabeled” the pastry as an apple pie that she bought during a trip to the store on April 20, according to legal papers. For that alleged switcheroo, plaintiff Tiffany Brady wants $35,000 in damages. Brady, a mother of five, and her...

    Working from home is killing office buildings’ worth. As remote and hybrid work prove to be enduring trends, researchers are predicting grim fates for the future value of New York City’s commercial workplaces. New York University and Columbia University researchers have updated a 2022 study to reflect new findings that offices will be even more impacted by remote work than they previously calculated. “We now estimate a more persistent work-from-home regime, which has more of an impairment of office values even in the long run,” Arpit Gupta, co-author of the study, “Work From Home and the Office Real Estate Apocalypse,”...

    New York legislators are vowing to terminate a lucrative state tax break for film and TV productions if they replace humans with artificial intelligence. “With the advent of AI, we want to make sure that we continue to protect workers and create jobs for New Yorkers,” state Sen. Lea Webb (D-Binghamton) said in a statement about the bill she introduced Wednesday. “It is important to ensure that the money we invest in economic development is actually being spent here.” The legislation is the latest state-level proposal aimed at reining in AI as emerging technology becomes more embedded in government programs,...

    Police believe the soon-to-be grandfather killed by a stray bullet outside his son’s Upper Manhattan deli this week was the innocent victim of a gang-related beef, according to law enforcement sources.

    As other presidential candidates will be preparing for the April round of primaries next year, former President Donald Trump will be in court for his New York City trial on charges of falsifying business records in 2016. The date of March 25 was set Tuesday during a hearing in which Trump appeared by video from his Florida home. When the date was set, Trump shook his head but made no comment to the court, according to The Washington Post. Although a dash for relevance has led many states to move their presidential primaries as early into 2024 as possible, April...
