Evening Roundup: NYC Council Joins Advocates’ Call to Block ICE on Rikers, NY Lt. Gov. Delgado Launches Campaign for Governor, Council Speaker Adams Unlocks Matching Funds, NYC Child Welfare Removals Show Racial Bias and Modern Garbage Trucks in Harlem

Immigration advocates and the New York City Council are urging a judge to block federal law enforcement officials from working on Rikers Island. Plus, Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado is running for governor of New York. Also, Council Speaker Adrienne Adams banked $2 million last week in matching funds thanks, in part, to her opponent. Meanwhile, the city’s child welfare agency is seven times more likely to investigate a Black family than a white one according to the agency’s own numbers. And finally, a Harlem neighborhood is the first to have its trash fully containerized and picked up by a fleet of new garbage trucks. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
