Biden DOJ drops civil rights probe of Gov. Cuomo over nursing homes |
2021-07-25 |
[NYPOST] The Department of Justice has decided not to investigate whether the civil rights of residents in New York’s government-run nursing homes were violated by Gov. Andrew SonnyCuomo ![]() ’s controversial admission policy related to the COVID-19 pandemic.In a letter Friday, the DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs told US Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), ranking member of that House Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, that New York was off the hook in connection with potential violations of the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act. In August, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division requested information from New York in connection with a March 25, 2020, order from the state Department of Health that required nursing homes to admit "medically stable" COVID-19 patients discharged from hospitals. It also sought records from Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Jersey, which adopted similar rules that the DOJ said "may have resulted in the deaths of thousands of elderly nursing home residents." "We have reviewed the information provided by these states along with additional information available to the Department," Deputy Assistant Attorney General Joe Gaeta wrote Friday. "Based on that review, we have decided not to open a CRIPA investigation of any public nursing facility within New York, Pennsylvania, or Michigan at this time."
