Rep. Meng calls out USPS for failure to combat mail theft in Queens

U.S. Rep. Grace Meng called out the United States Postal Service (USPS) for failing to fully implement its plan to combat mail theft in Queens, according to a news release from Meng’s office. Postal officials agreed to implement recommendations suggested by the USPS Office of Inspector General by the end of April 2025, but she claimed they have yet to do so.

Meng sent a letter to David Steiner, postmaster and CEO of USPS, calling its inaction “unacceptable” and urging the remaining recommendations be implemented immediately. She emphasized that criminals are still stealing items such as residents’ checks, credit cards, bank and personal information, medication and personal items.
