More than half of NYC Council members sent a letter to Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, the city’s district attorneys and administrative judges urging the city to investigate why a handcuffed woman was forced to give birth in a BK courtroom last month
"Arraignments have become a place where people now die in cuffs and give birth in cuffs," said Lisa Ohta, president of @alaa2325. "Without systemic change, these violations will continue and more New Yorkers will suffer or die."
