Evening Roundup: Judge Orders the Release of Activist Mahmoud Khalil, NYC’s Early Voting Turnout, City Parks Could Get New Water Fountains, and Some Seniors Fear Relocation Amid a Housing Redevelopment in Chelsea

from NYC NOW · host WNYC

A federal judge says he’ll order that activist Mahmoud Khalil be released from immigration detention. Plus, New Yorkers are voting early at a rate that experts say may signal a transformative shift in the electorate. Also, a bill has passed in the New York City Council that would require the parks department to install at least 50 new outdoor drinking fountains over the next decade. And finally, NYCHA and a pair of developers are awaiting final approval from the federal government. After that, residents of a senior apartment building will have 90 days to move.
