The expansion would offer free transit on the subway and bus for people making up to 150 percent of the federal poverty level, which is not a lot.

Say what you will about Streetsblog and our agenda, but we don't invent facts to get mad about

Not sure I've ever seen anything quite like this press release from the NY State court system demanding a correction by the NY Post.

👀
On Sunday, February 1, the Unified Court System contacted the New York Post to inform it that its story on Saturday, January 31, regarding Gerardo Miguel Mora’s appearance before Judge Sheridan Jack-Browne, in New York City Criminal Court, New York County, contained numerous erroneous facts. Judge Jack-Browne was not presented with any pending warrant for Mr. Mora, was not asked to hold him for any reason, and followed the law in every respect when handling his appearance. Mr. Mora appeared at 100 Centre Street in response to a misdemeanor charge of petit larceny, which on its face would not have authorized the court to set bail or otherwise detain the defendant on the only matter before the court that day. After the prosecutor recommended supervised release and the defense did not object, the court so ordered it. Moreover, Judge Jack-Browne did not allow Mr. Mora to “flee through a back door” and at no time was he “chased down outside.” Mr. Mora walked out of Judge Jack-Browne’s courtroom at 12:55 p.m. and did not leave the courthouse until 1:47 p.m. He exited the courthouse through the public exit on Baxter Street, and security video from the exterior of the courthouse shows that he exited the courthouse in handcuffs and was accompanied by federal law enforcement personnel, who placed him in a vehicle. UCS advised the Post of these errors and stated that if the Post did not correct the story, the Unified Court System would have to do so ourselves. The Post assured UCS that it would publish a corrective article. Instead, today the Post published an opinion piece repeating the falsities in its original article. UCS again contacted the Post, which has yet to provide an explanation for its insistence on standing by false information and its failure to adhere to its promise to correct its reporting. ICE agents chase down migrant sex predator after judge allows him to stroll out of NYC courthouse By Tina Moore Published Jan. 31, 2026, 5:23 p.m. ET An alleged crack-smoking, sexual-predator migrant wanted by ICE was allowed to flee through a back door of a Manhattan courthouse — infuriating federal agents, The Post has learned. Gerardo Miguel Mora, 45, was arrested Thursday for shoplifting and possession of stolen property after allegedly snatching $130 in items from an H&M display case in Midtown that day, court records show.
