Amazon (AMZN), Uber Technologies (UBER), and Instacart (CART) have filed a federal lawsuit seeking to stop New York City from enforcing a law that limits when delivery platforms can remove workers from their services.

DAVID Beckham has showed off his ripped torso in a shirtless snap from New York City – and made a subtle nod to his estranged son Brooklyn.
Brooklyn let loose on his family in a scathing social media post in January, with things remaining tense ever since.
David shared the stunning snap on Instagram, which showed him standing topless on a NYC balcony with his morning coffee.
In later posts, he revealed he was having dinner in Brooklyn — the place his son was named after.
This appeared to be a subtle nod to Brooklyn as his mum Victoria discovered she was pregnant there with him.
Brooklyn said at the start of the year that he did “not want to reconcile” with his family, and accused his parents of “controlling” the narrative.
His initial statement read: “I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.
“Unfortunately my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.
“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”
He then went on to recall the night of his wedding and how his mother danced in an “inappropriate way”.
Brooklyn also sent his parents David and Victoria a legal notice warning they can now contact him only via lawyers.
The extraordinary “desist” letter also instructed them not to “tag” him on social media.
Things then led to Brooklyn snubbing his father’s Hollywood star unveiling in June.
Just this month, Brooklyn let his shirt do the talking as he ramped up his family feud once more.
The telling message on Brooklyn’s top read: “It’s not clocking to you.”
It refers to pop star Justin Bieber’s 2025 paparazzi meltdown, when he complained: “It’s not clocking to you I’m standing on business.”
The singer meant photographers were not understanding he was busy and wanted to be left alone.
DRAKE is throwing himself a $1 million 40th birthday party in New York City, and he’s sparing no expensive, The U.S. Sun has learned.
The rapper – whose OVO record label and clothing line are a nod to his birthday month – has pulled out all the stops for his big day on Friday.
“Drake is having a massive birthday weekend in the city for his 40th,” a source told The U.S. Sun.
“He has rented out Cipriani 42nd St., which in itself is a fortune.”
It sounds like Drake is going all-out for the guests inside the iconic venuel, too.
“He has a massive, concert-level stage set up in there for special guest performances throughout the night,” the insider claimed.
And it’s not just a one-night event either.
Another insider claimed the party will continue at not-yet-open Chelsea hot spot, Lady Delilah.
Pricing for a full house at Cipriani’s 42nd St, with its capacity of 1,800 people and a cocktail-style buy-out runs approximately $1.1 million for the night.
The U.S. Sun reached out to a rep for Drake for comment.
The Canadian rapper is known for going all out for his parties.
As The U.S. Sun exclusively reported last year, a source said, “He hired out Mr Porter in Mayfair and was seen arriving around midnight,” for a monster bash after a set of London shows.
“There were loads of celebs there like Casey Affleck and Sacha Baron Cohen. Weirdly, Lily Phillips — the X-rated adult performer — was also on the guest list.
“The party went on all through the early hours of Sunday morning, with Drake finally heading home not long before 6am.
“It was a great bash and everyone who came out looked like they’d had a really good time,” the source said of the party after his set of July shows.
When he’s not throwing a rager, he’s putting out albums and digging up his ongoing beef with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar.
Earlier this year, Drake dropped three albums, and fans believe some of the tracks were taking aim at his longtime enemy Kendrick.
On the song Make Them Pay from his album Iceman, he delivered lines that listeners quickly connected to his rival.
“Damn, who is this guy for real/ I guess a magician/ 100 million streams vanished; no one got questions,” Drake rapped.
The shooting prompted protests in New York City as officials defended ICE and Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the incident.

The United States Department of Homeland Security has defended Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) shooting of a man in New York City while his child was present. Federal officials used the incident to criticise sanctuary-city policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
New York officials have condemned the shooting and have called for ICE to end its operations in the city.

The shooting took place on Thursday afternoon when ICE officers attempted to arrest a man identified by New York City police as Oscar Belgal.
Homeland Security officials gave their account of the incident on Friday during a news conference, saying that Belgal refused to exit his car when approached by officers and then accelerated, striking two ICE vehicles.
They said officers then opened fire, grazing Belgal’s neck while his five-year-old child was in the back seat.
According to Homeland Security officials, Belgal received first aid and was taken to hospital before being transferred to a secure detention facility outside New York state. They did not disclose where Belgal is being held.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin said that the agents did not know the child was inside the vehicle when they fired.
ICE senior official Marcos Charles said agents had attempted to arrest Belgal as part of an investigation into suspected gang involvement in an earlier shooting of a US Customs and Border Protection officer.
According to US officials, Belgal is an undocumented migrant from the Dominican Republic who had previously evaded arrest and received a five-year sentence for grand larceny in April 2025.
“[Belgal] was a thug,” Mullin said at the Friday news conference. “The absolute worst of the worst.”
Mullin confirmed that officers were wearing body cameras but the footage has not been made public. New York City police released bodycam footage on Friday of police officers on the scene who had responded to a 911 call about the incident.
In other violent incidents involving federal immigration officers, video evidence has contradicted initial accounts from ICE and Homeland Security officials, including in Minneapolis, where footage of the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good challenged federal officials’ descriptions of the encounters.
The latest shooting prompted protests on Thursday night in the Bronx, where the shooting took place, with demonstrators condemning ICE and calling for the agency to be abolished. Tensions rose after NYPD officers clashed with some of the protesters.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the shooting and said he had called US President Donald Trump to demand an end to ICE enforcement in the city.
Speaking to reporters late on Thursday at the scene of the shooting, Mamdani said he had tried unsuccessfully to secure Belgal’s release in phone calls with Trump and Mullin.
“These actions are making the city less safe,” Mamdani said. “ICE is rotten to its core.”
Mullin accused Mamdani of prioritising politics over public safety and said Trump had offered to transfer Belgal to New York police custody if they pursued charges. Mullin said Mamdani refused this offer.
