NEW: The Trump admin is building a network of super-powerful A.I. cameras at the border. But the cameras have been placed near parks, homes and beaches. Already, more than 1 million people live in areas where these cameras can watch them. nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

The Trump admin is asking a federal judge to agree to looser restrictions on standards at the ICE holding cells in Lower Manhattan. The feds say they don't want to provide pillows (security risk), a light dimmer at night (unclear why), or 24/7 medical services (too expensive).

Mamdani's on the City Hall steps to call for the passage of @tiffany_caban's Delivery Protection Act. It's a bit of an unusual dynamic, as Speaker Menin has yet to chime in on the bill. Mamdani hasn't done a lot of public pushing for Council legislation like this as mayor.

When asked to comment on my recent @NewYorker story, ICE said it doesn't use white SUVs in York, PA. That contradicts multiple witnesses I intervened (as well as photos I had access to). But a reader pointed me to this footage from the York Daily Record: ydr.com/videos/news/local/20…

Sent them an email yesterday with my co-professor. Still haven't heard back!
Hey @MTA any reason your press office has been treating student journalists like they're not real journalists? If your press team had time to send a condescending responses about how they don't deal with student journalists, surely, they could have just responded to the question.
