The Alexander brothers get 30 years each for sex trafficking.

Agnifilo now asks if they can stay in MDC Brooklyn while the appeal plays out. Judge Valerie Caproni says no, as MDC is a pretrial facility.

"Everybody bitches and moans about MDC until this point. Then everybody wants to stay."
At the sex trafficking sentencing for the Alexander brothers, defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo is pushing for a 15-year sentence. After all, his clients didn't kill anyone, he says.

"You know what eliminates hope? Murder. Because they’re dead."

“Pillows are a security risk.”

A judge ordered ICE to do both after a trial revealed many detainees spent days at a time in the building’s holding cells. ICE now wants a new trial.
