New York City Councilwoman Farah Louis is under increasing scrutiny amid a federal public corruption investigation involving the state’s homeless shelters for migrants.  

On Thursday, it was revealed that the federal investigators appeared to raid Farah Louis’s home last week, days before authorities on Tuesday arrested and charged four other individuals linked to Bhrags Home Care, a nonprofit group the city’s Department of Homeless Services has paid nearly $200 million in contracts since 2022. Farah and her sister, Debbie Louis, an aide to Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY), are suspected of accepting bribes in exchange for the appropriation of city funds to Bhrags.
