In response to the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, counsel for defendants detained at

three facilities have filed and continue to file applications for release in individual cases pending

additional information specific to the particular defendant and case. Defendants in cases pending

in this District are primarily detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn (MDC

Brooklyn) and the Metropolitan Correctional Center New York (MCC New York), both operated

by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), and the Queens Detention Facility (QDF), a private

facility operated by the GEO Group, Inc. under contract with the United States Marshals Service

(USMS) to house primarily pre-trial detainees.

 

This Administrative Order provides the Judges of this Court and the parties in these cases with current,

consistent, and accurate information to assess the common issue underlying these applications. Please see the Order for detailed information.
