The fate of a beloved local movie theater is playing out with some silver-screen melodrama on the East Side: Does the Kips Bay AMC want to stay or go?

Among the demands of the rank-and-file contract campaign: 6.5% yearly salary increases, permanent telework, and a $30 hourly wage floor.

At a community meeting this week, residents expected to hear from health system NYU Langone about plans to take over a beloved movie theater’s space.

The feds aborted a possible deal when the NYPD would not immediately take the shooting victim into custody.

Asked about Cuni’s history, the Department of Homeland Security said it would “never confirm or deny attempts to dox our law enforcement officers” because “publicizing their identities puts their lives and the lives of their families at serious risk.”

A review by The City Reporter of federal court records show Cuni participated in a number of warrantless arrests around NYC that federal judges later deemed illegal. In one of those cases, a judge ruled Cuni lied in sworn documents submitted in court.

While he was on the ground, the lawsuit alleges, Cuni began using a Taser on his legs. Unable to stand, officers carried his body into the van. Later he overheard the officers laughing as Cuni called him a “maldito Mexicano” or “fucking Mexican,” he said.

Cuni was named in multiple lawsuits where immigrants said they were beaten up and shot with stun guns. One of those arrests involved a 21-year-old in The Bronx; the lawsuit alleges an agent tripped him, and he fell to the ground, breaking a tooth.

The ICE agent at the center of the shooting in Marble Hill on Thursday is a familiar face to those closely following the Trump administration’s ICE crackdown in NYC. The City Reporter wrote about Brenden Cuni in May. 🧵

Parents of the Queens teen killed during 2024 mental health 911 call accused Mayor Mamdani of ‘betrayal.’

New York City officials said the ICE agents were in plainclothes wearing masks and construction vests at the time of the shooting, and video and photos of the moments after showed one agent brandishing an assault rifle, as passersby ducked for cover.

Insurgents say recent contracts haven’t kept pace with the cost of living. They’re pushing union leaders to hold Mayor Mamdani’s feet to the fire.

“One fun thing is when we get something, sometimes we get 1,000 of it, so we don’t just get one top hat,” said John Cloud Kaiser, MFTA education and gallery director. “We get 1,000 top hats.”
