Statement from Governor Kathy Hochul on Department of Homeland Security Providing Temporary Protected Status to Ukrainian Nationals Present in the United States

 

"Russia's unjustified and unprovoked attack on the sovereign and democratic country of Ukraine has led to human rights abuses, senseless violence against innocent civilians and an unprecedented humanitarian crisis that has created more than one million refugees in only a week. 

"New York State is home to the largest Ukrainian community in the country, and I applaud the Biden Administration and Secretary Mayorkas for protecting Ukrainian nationals present in the United States from returning to a war zone.

"As I've said before, with the Statue of Liberty standing tall in our harbor, New York stands ready to open our arms and provide a safe haven to all Ukrainians."

AS COVID CASES PLUMMET AND VACCINATION RATES REACH NEW HEIGHTS, MAYOR ADAMS ANNOUNCES NEXT PHASE OF PANDEMIC RESPONSE

 

Mayors Adams Suspends Key to NYC, Removes Mask Mandate in NYC Public Schools for K-12 Students

 

Comprehensive Announcement Comes After Data Shows NYC at “Low” Alert Level

 

More than 17 Million Vaccines Already Administered in New York City

 

Adams: “We are open for business and NYC has its groove back.”

 New York City Mayor Eric Adams today announced several changes to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions that will continue to protect the health and safety of all New Yorkers, while simultaneously boosting the city’s economic recovery. In the face of quickly declining COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations and more than 17 million doses of vaccines administered, Mayor Adams announced the suspension of the Key to NYC program and the removal of indoor mask mandates in city public schools for K-12 students.

 

“Two years ago, New York City was the epicenter of the pandemic, but thanks to New Yorkers getting vaccinated and getting boosted we have made tremendous progress,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. “I’ve said time and time again that the numbers and science will guide us as we continue to recover and rebuild, and now New York City is back, and vaccinations are why we’re back. New Yorkers should be getting out and enjoying our amazing city. The fight may not be over, but we’re clearly winning the war. We are open for business and New York City has its groove back.”

 

Beginning Monday, March 7^th:

 

• Key to NYC rules will be suspended. Indoor venues, including restaurants, fitness facilities, and entertainment spaces will no longer be required to check for proof of vaccination before customers enter. Businesses previously covered by Key to NYC rules will still have the flexibility to require proof of vaccination or masking indoors if they choose.

 

• Masks will no longer be required on public school grounds for kindergarten to 12^th grade students. While these public school children will be able to remove their masks, if they so choose, schools will continue to maintain strict COVID-19 protocols, including increased ventilation, a daily screener to ensure those with symptoms do not come to school, and test kit distribution. Masks will continue to be required for all settings with children under 5 years of age (where none of the population is yet eligible for the vaccine), including programs contracted by the New York City Department of Education with 3- and 4-year-old children as well as 3k and 4K classrooms in district schools.  

 

Mayor Adams today also announced that all other COVID-19 mandates will remain in effect. Under the rules, employees will still be required to be vaccinated unless they have received a reasonable accommodation from their employer.

 

Additionally, Mayor Adams released a new color-coded system that tracks COVID-19 alerts and keeps New York City residents apprised of the risks they face in New York City. This new system will better help New Yorkers understand the current level of COVID-19 risk and how they can best protect themselves and others based on the current risk. The system consists of four alert levels that outline precautions and recommended actions for individuals and government based on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Community Burden Indicator.

 

COVID-19 Alert Levels:

 

Alert Level: Low

·        There is low COVID-19 community spread.

·        Precautions: Stay up to date - get vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19; consider wearing a face mask in public indoor settings where vaccine status is not known; and get tested if you have symptoms or are at high risk for poor health outcomes. Basic public health precautions, like good hand hygiene and staying home if sick, should be followed.

·        Recommended Government Actions: Maintain current employer and school vaccine mandates; require face masks in settings with vulnerable individuals and where vaccine status is not verified, such as health care facilities, congregate settings, and public transportation; consider mandating up-to-date vaccination status in certain settings if there is a sustained increase in cases or a new concerning variant.

 

Alert Level: Medium

·         There is medium COVID-19 community spread.

·         Precautions: Stay up to date – get vaccinated or boosted against COVID-19; wear a mask in public indoor settings where vaccine status is not known; get tested if you have symptoms or were exposed, recently traveled, or attended large gatherings; stay home if sick; keep hands clean. Take additional precautions — such as avoiding crowded indoor and outdoor settings — if at-high risk due to age, underlying health condition, or being unvaccinated, or if interacting with high-risk individuals.

·         Recommended Government Actions: Continue action from Low Alert Level. Consider requiring face masks in additional high-risk settings where it is crowded and distance cannot be maintained, such as schools. Consider reinstituting Key to NYC requirements if there is a sustained increase in cases or a new, concerning variant.

 

Alert Level: High

·         There is high COVID-19 community spread. Pressure on the health care system in New York City is substantial.

·         Precautions: Stay up to date – get vaccinated or boosted against COVID-19; wear a mask in all public indoor settings and crowded outdoor spaces; get tested if you have symptoms or were exposed, recently traveled or attended large gatherings; stay home if sick/exposed; and keep hands clean. Consider avoiding higher-risk activities, such as crowded, indoor gatherings.

·         Recommended Government Actions: Continue action from Medium Alert Level. Increase testing and vaccination capacity; ensure adequate vaccination, testing and isolation capacity in congregate settings; require face masks in all public indoor settings. 

 

Alert Level: Very High

·         There is very high COVID-19 community spread. Health care services are overwhelmed by COVID-19 cases.

·         Precautions: Stay up to date – get vaccinated or boosted against COVID-19; wear a mask in public indoor settings and crowded outdoor spaces; get tested; stay home as much as possible, especially if sick/exposed; and keep hands clean. Avoid nonessential activities and crowded spaces. Maximize physical distancing in all public settings, including in workplaces.

·         Recommended Government Actions: Continue action from High Alert Level. Ensure congregate settings are less crowded; consider implementing restrictions on nonessential activities, offering telework and sheltering in place to keep essential functions (such as health care and schools) operating.  

 

“Throughout the pandemic, New Yorkers have stepped up and utilized the tools to overcome the challenges of the past two years,” said New York Governor Kathy Hochul. “With the steady decline in cases and hospitalizations from the Omicron peak, we are now safely entering a new phase of the pandemic. I want to thank Mayor Eric Adams for his continued partnership as we work together to fight the pandemic and keep our schools and businesses both safe and open.”

“Our new COVID Alert system gives New Yorkers a roadmap for how to reduce their own risk in the event that we see another surge or increase in transmission,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Dave A. Chokshi. “COVID Alert will keep New Yorkers informed, including about actions to expect from city government. As we look to the months ahead, we must continue to do all we can to prevent unnecessary suffering due to COVID-19.” 

 

“Our ‘Stay Safe, Stay Open’ plan worked. Cases are down 99 percent and we did not have to close a single school since January,” said New York City Department of Education Chancellor David C. Banks. “Making masks optional gives families and educators a choice, while remaining vigilant through high levels of testing and following the advice of our public health experts and the CDC.”

 

“We are winning the fight against COVID because New Yorkers have stepped up and gotten vaccinated — 96 percent of adult New Yorkers have received at least one dose. We have also continued to prove that our schools are the healthiest place for our students to be,” said Dr. Ted Long, executive director, NYC Test & Trace Corps; and senior vice president of Ambulatory Care and Population Health, NYC Health + Hospitals. “I want to thank every New Yorker who has protected their loved ones and neighbors by getting vaccinated — you earned this — and acknowledge the incredible work of our health care heroes who made these milestones possible.”

MAYOR ERIC ADAMS MAKES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND CLIMATE JUSTICE-RELATED ANNOUNCEMENT

 

Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer, Economic and Workforce Development: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal. This is a historic day for our city and a historic day for Sunset Park. First, I'd like to thank our partners the New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC), Equinor, BP (British Petroleum), and the Sustainable South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT) for helping make today happen. I would also like to acknowledge some very special guests. We have the Norwegian Consul General Heidi Olufsen; our DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) Commissioner and Chief Climate Officer Rohit Aggarwala; our Deputy Mayor for Operations Meera Joshi, for joining us today. We also have Councilmember Alexa Aviles and Councilmember Amanda Farias. I would also like to thank Glenn Segal, Managing Partner of Industry City; Julie Tighe, President of the New York League of Conservation Voters; Mariah Dignan, Regional Director for Climate Jobs New York; Adrienne Esposito, Executive Director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment; Fred Zalcman, Director of the New York Offshore Wind Alliance; KC Sahl, VHB National Director and Co-chair of the New York City Offshore Wind Industry Advisory Council. As you can see, we have a lot of guests here today, a lot of partners. Thanks to all of you for being here and for your support in this amazing project.

 

Now as Deputy Mayor for Economic and Workforce Development, I spend every day with my colleagues fighting to build a better future for New Yorkers. That means that as we come out of COVID, we have to make sure that we are making this city a leader in climate resiliency and in clean energy investments. Today we are laying the groundwork for that vision. We are investing in green jobs and an infrastructure that will benefit all communities. This is a real game changer for offshore wind in New York City and for the future of our economy. It is really incredible to think that this location will birth a whole new industry in New York City and will be a key driver of our long term equitable recovery.

 

This is truly about making New York City a place where everyone shares in our prosperity. It's about creating family sustaining jobs of the future and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It's ensuring every neighborhood can flourish. This is how we are going to create a clean energy future for all. So now it is my pleasure to introduce the man who is leading the charge, Mayor Eric Adams.

Mayor Eric Adams: Thank you, Deputy Mayor. Thank all of you here. You know, please excuse my hairdo, the wind is blowing it around. One thing is clear, that the sun will never set on Sunset Park because they are a lightened pathway for our future and the wind is blowing in the right direction. The winds of change are clearly at our back. And it is so important that we continue to move in the right direction. I'm really excited. I joined the Deputy Mayor in laying out the excitement of what we are about to accomplish here in this community and in this city and the entire state. This is a transformative moment. New York City is moving towards a clean future and a future of sustainable power and good paying jobs for local residents. That is so important to highlight because far too often we watch transformative moments take place in our city and we leave behind far too many people. That's something I've heard over and over on the campaign trail. The future of the city can't continue to rise while we watch the future of everyday residents continue to decline. Not in this administration and not with this amazing announcement we are making today.

 

This transformative moment is starting right here in Sunset Park. I'm sure it's not lost on all of us the walk past these warehouses that are empty and really the potential is endless. And when we talk about what we're going to accomplish here in the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal it's soon to be transformed into one of the largest offshore wind port facilities in the nation. That is historical to think about. Working with Equinor and their partners along with the New York City Economic Development Corporation, we're going to move this site to build a massive new facility with wind turbines, staging and installation operations, and maintenance. This is an unbelievable moment for this community because with the jobs you're also going to see the spillover into the local bodegas, the local restaurants, the local coffee shops, the schools, building a pipeline of opportunity and education. It's going to support 13,000 local jobs over time and 1,000 right here at South Brooklyn Marine Terminal. It's also expected to generate $1.3 billion in average annual investments citywide. This is an amazing opportunity for our city. This is going to be an anchor location for not only green jobs, but green dollars, to put in the pocket of everyday New Yorkers. It will ultimately produce enough power for over 2 million homes. In addition to creating jobs and economic growth, the wind capacity of this site will significantly reduce our carbon footprint, something we talked about over and over again. We're not just talking about it, we're going to be about it and institute initiatives that are going to reduce the footprint and ensure that we meet citywide our climate goals and 100 percent carbon clean electricity by 2040 and carbon neutrality by 2050. And that's what I'm calling, as we say in our model, and our administration, this is how we get stuff done.

 

Wow, that's a great picture. I want somebody to get a shot of that. That's a Tik Tok, you know. Love that, love that.

 

So we want sustainability and equity to go hand in hand. So we're going to make sure that this $191 million investment in offshore wind is also an investment in all New Yorkers. We say that all the time. It's about equity and ending the inequality that we have witnessed in our city. We will direct at least 40 percent of the jobs and investment towards women, minorities, and environmental justice communities. We'll work with Equinor and other offshore wind firms to ensure that our local schools in this community and throughout the city, that they are trained, the workforce that we need for the future, our colleges, and other young people will know how to experience these jobs. All the jobs will impact good middle class living and ensure that people are able to benefit from this investment that we're making. Equinor will establish a $5 million fund to bring more New York City residents to offshore and wind careers, real jobs with real careers, and allow them to move into a middle class lifestyle in our city. They're going to establish an offshore wind learning center here in Brooklyn, that will connect the community to jobs and training. These new jobs will include all kinds of construction work, as well as turbine staging, operations and logistics, and the technicians, staff members, and marine vessel crews that will service the turbines that we are building here. The design and engineering is already underway with construction starting to begin next year. By 2025, we will be putting together the turbines right here at this site and getting ready to install them off the coast of Long Island.

 

So young people that are in high school right now, by the time they graduate, they will be able to be employed in the jobs of the future and participate in not only decreasing our carbon footprint, but increasing our use of wind to power our city and power throughout this region. This project can expand and continue to grow this full capacity. If you didn't realize that this is a windy city, I know you realize it now. There's a whole lot of electricity in this wind that's around us. So they're going to not only graduate into better jobs, but they're going to graduate into a better climate and a better future. We're building a better future for next generations and it started right here at Sunset Park. And as your mayor, I'm proud of what we are accomplishing here and starting out the first few months of my administration. And this is a long term vision that we have.

 

We want to thank all of our partners and the team that has put this together. This is a great moment for our city as we move forward to a future where the wind is at our backs. The wind of successes is blowing in our direction, and we're going to make sure that we have a real win for New Yorkers. Thank you very much. 

 

Repeat Fraudster Sentenced For Fraudulent Loan And Bank Bribery Scheme

 

Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that ADEDAYO ILORI, a recidivist fraudster with multiple prior fraud convictions and who continued to engage in fraudulent conduct even following his guilty plea, was sentenced today to 63 months’ imprisonment for his role in a commercial loan fraud and bank bribery scheme.  ILORI’s sentence was imposed by United States District Judge Lewis J. Liman. Codefendants Herode Chancy and Michael Albarella, who at the time of offense were employed as managers at a Manhattan branch of a national bank (“Bank-1”), were previously sentenced to 30 months’ and six months’ imprisonment, respectively.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “Adedayo Ilori has a history of engaging in fraud using the identities of other people.  Here, Ilori worked with bank insiders to obtain over $1 million in commercial loans for fake businesses.  Ilori used stolen identities to apply for the loans and open bank accounts to receive the loan proceeds.  His co-conspirators used a stolen identity provided by Ilori to launder a portion of the loan proceeds.  Today’s sentence sends the message to Ilori and others engaged in fraud using stolen identities that such conduct will be seriously punished.”

According to the allegations in the Complaint, Indictment, and statements made in court:

From at least in or about March 2019 up to and including at least in or about March 2020, ILORI and Chancy conspired to fraudulently obtain business loans from a third-party commercial lender with the intent not to repay the loans – i.e., with the intent to “bust out” the loans.  ILORI and Chancy together submitted eight fraudulent business loan applications for a total of $1,020,000 in business loans.  The business loan applications submitted by ILORI and Chancy included doctored bank statements and listed the identities of other persons as the loan applicants, including stolen identities provided by ILORI.  ILORI and Chancy also opened bank accounts using the identities of those other persons in order to receive the loan payments from the third-party commercial lender.  ILORI and Chancy subsequently conspired with Albarella to open a bank account at Bank-1 using a stolen identity provided by ILORI to launder approximately $200,000 of the expected proceeds of the loan scheme.  Albarella opened the bank account at Bank-1 using the stolen identity provided by ILORI and Chancy, and Albarella accepted a $10,000 bribe to open the bank account.       

ILORI and Chancy believed that the underwriter for the third-party commercial lender was participating in the scheme and agreed to pay the underwriter a “commission” for the underwriter’s role in the scheme.  In reality, however, the underwriter was an undercover law enforcement officer. 

After pleading guilty in this case, ILORI continued to engage in fraudulent conduct using stolen identities by renting an apartment using a stolen identity, leasing a vehicle using a stolen identity, making purchases using a bank card in the name of a stolen identity, and possessing bank cards and identification cards in the names of several stolen identities.  Separately, ILORI has been indicted in this District in 21 Cr. 746 for engaging in a multi-million dollar COVID-19 loan fraud scheme, and the case is pending before Judge Vyskocil. The charges contained in Indictment 21 Cr. 746 are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.   

In addition to the prison term, ILORI, 43 of Queens, New York, was sentenced to three years of supervised release and ordered to forfeit $10,000 in fraudulent proceeds.

Mr. Williams praised the outstanding investigative work of the New York FBI’s Eurasian Organized Crime Task Force and the El Dorado Task Force of Homeland Security Investigations.
