About this episode
Several New York lawmakers are suing Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams to stop the government from housing migrants in Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field. Meanwhile, the operator of a Bronx daycare center now faces federal drug charges in the death of a one-year-old boy exposed to fentanyl. Also with more than 100,000 migrants entering New York City's shelter system over the past year. WNYC's Ramsey Khalifeh takes a look at just how unusual the so-called migrant crisis really is. Finally, this week's United Auto Workers strike caps a summer of increased activism from organized labor. With unions representing workers for Metro North and NJ Transit threatening strikes, the potential for walkouts could disrupt travel for hundreds of thousands of daily commuters in New York and New Jersey. Politico New Jersey transportation reporter Ry Rivard explains the protest.
