Al Capone's childhood home in Brooklyn lists for $6.25M
This home could be talkin' to you. In Brooklyn's coveted Park Slope, a historic townhouse at 38 Garfield Place has emerged from a meticulous renovation to hit the market for $6.25 million. And it comes with some real mob history. The five-story residence was once the home of infamous gangster Al Capone in his younger years, The Post has learned. Capone, born in Brooklyn in 1899, moved into this dwelling with his family in the 1880s when he was 11, remaining there until his early 20s. 14 Al Capone lived in the home with his parents from age 11 until his early 20s. Bettmann Archive 14 The home has been fully renovated and updated to fit a more modern aesthetic. Evan Joseph 14 The home's exterior, at 38 Garfield Place, before the renovations. Annie Wermiel/NY Post 'He was born on Navy Street and then the family needed more space,' said listing representative Nadia Bartolucci of Douglas Elliman. 'So they then moved over to Park Slope … And the family owned the home for a couple of decades.' The future crime lord, later dubbed 'Public Enemy No. 1,' resided here until 1919, when he relocated to Chicago — where he built a criminal empire through bootlegging, prostitution and gambling. Convicted of tax evasion in 1931, Capone served eight years in prison and died in 1947 at age 48. The property, redeveloped by Minerva, a real estate development firm, underwent a dramatic transformation from what Bartolucci described as an 'uninhabitable' state into a 4,000-plus-square-foot masterpiece. The Capone family's tenure at 38 Garfield Place was followed by a single owner until Minerva bought it in February 2024. 'When the home was acquired, it required a full remodel, a full renovation,' Bartolucci told The Post. 'They did a complete ground-up renovation and turned it into an exquisite … triple-mint townhouse and it is beautiful.' 14 The entryway. Evan Joseph 14 A sitting room. Evan Joseph 14 The kitchen.

Trump's Alien Enemies Act policies raise Fourth Amendment problems, too
President Donald Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act has raised all sorts of legal issues. One of the big ones is due process, which the Supreme Court needed to remind the Trump administration to obey while attempting to deport people under the 1798 law that was previously invoked only during wars. New reporting raises another issue: the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement. USA Today reported on a memo issued March 14 by Attorney General Pam Bondi that said law enforcement can pursue people in their homes without warrants. According to USA Today: The memo was provided to USA TODAY by the open government group, Property of the People, which they obtained through a records request. ... [The memo] purports to grant authority for police to enter a suspected 'Alien Enemy's residence' if 'circumstances render it impracticable' to first obtain a warrant. The memo told law enforcement that immigrants deemed 'Alien Enemies' are 'not entitled to a hearing, appeal or judicial review.' Representatives from the Department of Homeland Security referred USA TODAY's questions about the memo to the Department of Justice. DOJ did not respond to requests for comment. To be sure, there are exceptions to the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement, such as in what the law calls exigent circumstances (emergencies, basically). But there's no exception magically created by the president's invocation of this law to summarily deport alleged gang members. This Fourth Amendment problem is one of several discrete legal issues that all stem from a bigger one: the invocation of the law itself. Courts have handled preliminary litigation over it but have not yet resolved the underlying legality of Trump's claimed authority, which is unprecedented in these circumstances. If the Supreme Court ultimately rejects his authority on this score, then that could simultaneously address the myriad discrete issues that have arisen. But even if Trump's authority is upheld under the act, the Fourth Amendment still can't be sacrificed in the process. Subscribe to the Deadline: Legal Newsletter for expert analysis on the top legal stories of the week, including updates from the Supreme Court and developments in the Trump administration's legal cases.

Venezuelan migrants ask U.S. Supreme Court to halt 'imminent' deportations
Lawyers for Venezuelan men detained in Texas asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday to block what the lawyers said were the men's imminent deportation by the Trump administration without the judicial review previously mandated by the justices. In a court filing, lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union said some of the dozens of the men held at the Bluebonnet Detention Facility in Anson, Texas, had already been loaded onto a bus and told they were to be deported. Shortly after the filing, a government lawyer said he was unaware of plans by the Department of Homeland Security to deport the men on Friday, but there could be deportations on Saturday. "I've spoken with DHS. They are not aware of any current plans for flights tomorrow but I have also been told to say they reserve the right to remove people tomorrow," Justice Department attorney Drew Ensign told a district court in a separate but related case. In that district court case, Judge James Boasberg denied an ACLU request to block Trump from deporting suspected members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. The cases raise questions about the Trump administration's adherence to limits set by the Supreme Court. It carries the risk of a significant clash between the two coequal branches of government and possibly even a full-blown constitutional crisis. The lawyers for the Venezuelans filed with the Supreme Court after failing to get a rapid response from earlier filings on Friday before U.S. District Judge James Hendrix in Abilene, Texas, and the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans to block any such deportations. The ACLU said the men had been handed forms indicating they were classified as members of the Tren de Aragua gang. At issue is whether the Trump administration has fulfilled the Supreme Court's standard for providing the detainees due process before sending them to another country — possibly to the notorious prison in El Salvador where others are jailed. It was unclear on Friday how many people were potentially to be deported, and where they might be taken. The men's deportation would be the first since the Supreme Court told the Trump administration on April 7 that it must provide notice to Venezuelan migrants it is seeking to deport and give them the opportunity to challenge their deportations in court. In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court allowed removals under that law to continue, but specified that "the notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs." Habeas corpus relief refers to the right of detainees to challenge the legality of their detention. It is considered a bedrock right under U.S. law. The ACLU filed a photo of one of the notices with the court. "You have been determined to be an Alien Enemy subject to apprehension, restraint, and removal," read the notice. The recipient's name was obscured, and it was noted that the migrant refused to sign it on Friday. Elected last year on a promise to crack down on migrants, Trump invoked the law last month in a bid to bypass normal procedures and swiftly deport alleged members of Tren de Aragua, which his administration labels a terrorist group. Asked about the planned deportations on Friday, Trump said he was unfamiliar with the particular case but added: "If they're bad people, I would certainly authorize it." "That's why I was elected. A judge wasn't elected," he told reporters at the White House. Defense lawyers and Democrats in Congress have pressed the administration to demonstrate how it knows the Venezuelans are members of the gang, which is active in human trafficking and other crimes in South America but has a smaller U.S. presence. "We are not going to reveal the details of counter terrorism operations, but we are complying with the Supreme Court's ruling," Assistant Secretary for U.S. Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement on Friday. The Supreme Court did not indicate how much notice should be provided. Lawyers around the country have asked that the migrants be given 30 days' notice to allow them to contest their deportations. The Trump administration has not said publicly how much notice it intends to give the migrants. Judges in Manhattan, Denver, and Brownsville, Texas, have issued temporary orders blocking deportations under the Alien Enemies Act within their district. On March 15, the Trump administration deported more than 130 alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang to El Salvador, citing the Alien Enemies Act, best known for being used to intern and deport people of Japanese, German and Italian descent during World War II. Many of the migrants' lawyers and family members say they were not gang members and had no chance to dispute the government's assertion that they were. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in Washington, D.C., swiftly blocked any further deportations under the law. Trump then called for Boasberg's impeachment, prompting a rare rebuke from U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts, who said appeals, not impeachment, are the proper response to adverse court decisions. Boasberg is now probing whether the Trump administration violated his order to return the migrants, and warned that he could hold officials in contempt of court. An appeals court paused that inquiry on Friday. The Justice Department's statement that there were no plans for immediate deportations of Venezuelans was made during arguments on Friday in Boasberg's court. The judge had convened the hearing to weigh the ACLU's request for an emergency order blocking the administration from deporting people under the Alien Enemies Act without proper legal notice.
