NEW YORK — On Monday, federal agencies initiated an extensive “interagency operation” at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, where Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently incarcerated.

The operation involved personnel from various agencies, including the Bureau of Prisons and the inspector general’s office from the Justice Department, according to a statement released by the Bureau of Prisons.

This coordinated law enforcement effort aims to ensure the safety of both prison staff and the inmates within the facility, as indicated by the agency’s announcement. However, prison officials chose not to disclose specific information regarding the nature of the operation early in the day.

The intervention occurs amidst heightened scrutiny surrounding the facility, which has been criticized for its poor conditions, escalating violence, and multiple fatalities.

There is an ongoing initiative from the Justice Department and the Bureau of Prisons aimed at rectifying issues at the jail and holding those involved accountable for any misconduct.

This joint operation reflects a commitment to addressing the serious concerns that have been raised regarding the state of the MDC Brooklyn while also safeguarding the welfare of all individuals associated with the facility.
