On Monday afternoon January 8,2024 police made at least nine arrests, according to The Associated Press, after clashing with a group of men in the Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters, 770 Eastern Parkway in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, that was reportedly trying to prevent an unauthorized tunnel linked to the building from being filled in.
The New York Police Department said a group of individuals "unlawfully" entered the building by damaging a wall; the Chabad-Lubavitch Headquarters has condemned these actions. The underground tunnel was discovered at 770 Eastern Parkway, a synagogue and headquarters of the Hasidic Jewish movement Chabad-Lubavitch.
There have been reports about the tunnel since December 2023. Community news outlet CrownHeights.Info said a construction worker discovered it spanned from under the women's section of the synagogue to a mikvah—a Jewish ritual cleansing bath—on the corner of Union Street. Synagogue leadership decided to close off the women's section until a decision could be reached on how to secure the building.
The New York City Fire Department has also told reporters that it received an anonymous tip about the tunnel in December 2020 but could not find it when it checked it out.
It's not clear how long the tunnel has been under construction.

I know I may get downvoted until oblivion by the bots, but I know I’m not the only one that’s genuinely concerned why fecal matter is on a child’s mattress? Is it from a child? And if so why? If a child is being harmed the leaders and everyone associated should be In prison.
Not in the right position on the mattress to be excrement.
