Case Summary

(This summary is temporary while we research the case further). On April 30, 2025, three men on a New York Police Department ("NYPD") list of gang members filed a putative class action alleging NYPD officers allegedly surveilled, detained, questioned and harassed Black and Latino people on the list. The three named plaintiffs each assert they have been on the list for over a decade despite never being members of criminal organizations. Plaintiffs alleged the NYPD's conduct violated the First, Fourth and Fourteenth  Amendments, parts of the New York constitution, and a New York City prohibition on biased policing.
