On April 27, 2016 some 700 NYPD and federal authorities executed the largest ‘gang’ raid in New York City’s history, in Eastchester in the northern Bronx. 120 young men were indicted. Many are being held at federal facilities in the Brooklyn and Manhattan awaiting trial. The arrests came with little actual evidence and has continued to stoke the movement to end racist policing and brutal incarceration practices in New York City.
