Dear New Yorkers,

Haruna, a 39-year-old Ghanaian asylum seeker, began to notice blood in his stool and felt dizzy and weak five months after he was detained at the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark.

His symptoms grew worse as he waited to see a doctor, despite several requests and repeated calls from his wife, according to court records and an interview. He was taken to a local emergency room, where he remained chained at his wrists and ankles while receiving a blood transfusion.

Haruna was transferred back to Delaney Hall, but his symptoms continued and he returned to the ER three times for more blood infusions and surgery. He’s now been at the detention site for almost a year.

“I’m sick. I tell them the same things, but they don’t take it to be something serious,” he told The City Reporter. “It’s like hell to me now.”

Haruna’s case is among those detailed in 60 emergency lawsuits from immigrants detained at Delaney Hall who say they were denied critical medical care. Their accounts, bolstered by medical records obtained by The City Reporter, provide the most comprehensive view yet of the experiences of people seeking treatment at the facility, a lighting rod for the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

Go New York Go (To The Polls)

If you can’t make it tomorrow to the ticker-tape parade along the Canyon of Heroes or one of the many anticipated watch parties across the city to toast the Knicks’ NBA championship, there’s another way you can rep the orange and blue.

The city Board of Elections will be distributing a limited-edition Knicks-themed “I Voted” sticker to some New Yorkers who cast their ballots Thursday, a spokesperson for the board confirmed to The City Reporter.

The board is hoping the basketball-shaped sticker will encourage turnout, though spokesperson Vincent Ignizio said officials expect the parade will have a “limited” impact on how many people vote.

More than 62,000 voters had checked in for early voting as of the close of polls Tuesday night.
