LaMonica McIver on three criminal counts tied to a confrontation with immigration authorities at a detention center last month, according to an announcement Tuesday from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey.

    New York City will now limit e-bike and scooter riders to 15 miles per hour on city streets as part of a broader push by Mayor Eric Adams to rein in the fast-growing and controversial delivery sector.
