## Resource

A Queens man, Mark Salkey, faces up to 25 years behind bars after allegedly stealing the deed to a Brooklyn home from an elderly dementia patient—while still renting it out. This shocking case highlights a growing national crackdown on deed theft, fueled by new laws and aggressive prosecution. The crime disproportionately targets Black and brown communities, sparking political debate and community action, including arrests of city council members protesting evictions and a new mayor’s office dedicated to stopping the trend and empowering homeowners.
