Ed Mullins, the head of the NYPD’s Sergeants Benevolent Association, has resigned from his role just hours after FBI agents raided his home and the group’s Manhattan headquarters.

Dozens of federal agents were seen carrying boxes out of the union’s Manhattan headquarters and loading them into a van on Tuesday morning as part of a “law enforcement action in connection with an ongoing investigation,” FBI spokesperson Martin Feely said.
