This column reports on several significant, representative decisions handed down recently in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Judge Frederic Block, finding that defendant was in “custody” during his interrogation at JFK Airport, suppressed the statements he made because he had not received timely Miranda warnings. Judge Arthur D. Spatt denied a motion for a preliminary injunction allowing plaintiff’s minor children to attend a Jewish school pending her lawsuit challenging New York’s vaccination requirements. And Judge Jack B. Weinstein awarded damages to a U.S. citizen illegally detained as an alien by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Custodial Interrogation
In United States v. Morla, 15 CR 332 (EDNY, Feb. 12, 2016), Judge Block rejected the government’s argument that defendant was not in custody when, without prior Miranda warnings, he made statements to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at JFK Airport. His statements were therefore inadmissible at trial.
