Target on 225th St in the Bronx/Marble Hill permits ICE to use their parking lots as a staging area. Oct 5th letter from (8) area Bx City Council Members requesting leaseholder to disclose who authorizes ICE use of these (private) lots & demanding they withdraw ICE's permission immediately.
ATTN: PAUL TRAVIS
As Managing Partner for KINGSBRIDGE ASSOCIATES, LLC
675 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017
Transmitted via electronic mail on October 5, 2026

Dear Kingsbridge Associates,
We write as elected officials representing the West Bronx regarding reports and increasing sightings of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) using the parking lot at Target’s 40 W. 225th Street
location as a staging area for immigration enforcement activity.

REQUEST: We request a response confirming whether Kingsbridge Associates LLC, Target or another controlling entity has authorized ICE’s use of the property. If authorization has been granted, we urge the responsible entity to immediately withdraw or terminate that authorization and take measures to prohibit ICE from using the parking lot for staging, absent access required by law.

Our communities are outraged. In April of this year, more than 50 residents from the Bronx, Upper Manhattan, and Westchester wrote to Target calling on the company to end cooperation with ICE and establish protections against immigration enforcement on Target property. 

This is private property operated by or for Target, where
our neighbors shop, work, and bring their families. In a borough home to hundreds of thousands of immigrants, our residents should not have to fear that their neighborhood shops are being used as a staging ground for immigration enforcement.

We respectfully request a written response by October 31, 2026.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

I see a lot of music on #bandcamp labelled 'Dark Folk'. I get the need for the description, but most of it doesn't feel especially dark or especially grounded I feel like there needs to be some sort of category for introspective, vulnerable, searching songs that use acoustic instruments. #musicsky

This is right on, as always (and I would have read it if it was about Geese). "every label hates streaming. But some labels, at least, don’t want to disrupt it, because streaming creates the metrics which are now the basis for financial valuation of their companies."

Actually, correct me if I'm wrong, but if those 7 Democrats vote against the measure -- and with Massie breaking from the GOP -- it's 214 to 213 against funding ICE. So it's more than symbolic. It slows the murders and kidnappings on American streets. Fuck Jeffries. Enough is enough.
