Federal agents conducted pre-dawn raids at the homes of New York City Councilmember Farah Louis and her sister, Debbie Esther Louis, amid a corruption investigation related to migrant shelter contracts. The raids involved agents breaking down doors and seizing electronic devices. The investigation focuses on potential kickbacks linked to BHRAGS Home Care, which has received over $200 million in city contracts. Although neither sister has been accused of wrongdoing, the situation has caused significant distress for their family.
