A shocking story has emerged from the heart of Queens, New York, where a community is up in arms after a group of alleged squatters took over a million-dollar home.
The homeowner, Adele Andaloro, inherited the property from her parents after their passing, but she has been unable to take possession due to the squatters’ presence.
The situation escalated when Andaloro tried to take matters into her own hands by changing the locks and trying to remove the squatters herself. This led to her arrest and charges of unlawful eviction. The irony is that the alleged intruders weren’t supposed to be there in the first place, yet Andaloro is the one facing legal consequences.
It is a sad day when hardworking American citizens like Andaloro cannot even protect their own property. But this is a growing problem in cities like New York, where squatters can claim “rights” after just 30 days of living in a property that is not theirs. It is a dangerous loophole in the law that allows people to take advantage of others’ hard work and rightful ownership.
And it’s not just about property rights, but also the safety and well-being of the community. Neighbors have reported strange activity from the home since the squatters’ arrival, including late-night construction and suspicious behavior. They are rightfully concerned about their safety and the potential decrease in property values.
But what is even more concerning is the lack of action from the authorities. The police told Andaloro that this was a “landlord-tenant issue” and that she had to go through the housing court to resolve it. In the meantime, the squatters are free to continue living in a home that does not belong to them. This is a failure of the justice system to protect the rights of law-abiding citizens.
It is unacceptable that these individuals, who have no legal right to the property, can get away with stealing a million-dollar home. Andaloro and her neighbors are ready to do what it takes to get them out, even starting a petition. But it shouldn’t have to come to that. The law should be on the side of the rightful owner, not the thieves.

This is another example of the breakdown of law and order in our cities. It is time for our elected officials to take a stand and address the issues plaguing our communities. Squatters’ rights should not supersede the rights of hardworking, law-abiding citizens.
