It is a staff photograph by Fred Palumbo, filed under the NYWT&S subject heading for narcotics. The print has masking-paper marks along one edge.
The caption does not say what the raids targeted and names none of the men, and this page does not name them. The filing under narcotics is the collection’s heading and is not a charge against anyone shown.
