Episode description

A detained Palestinian Columbia University graduate student appeared in court Wednesday, as lawyers aim to fend off the Trump administration's attempt to deport him. Plus, Gov. Hochul’s main budget proposals on rebate checks and banning cell phones from schools received pushback in Albany. Also, how New York City’s Chinatown has recovered since the COVID-19 pandemic, when xenophobia and racism against Asian Americans was at an all time high. And finally, TSA agents at Newark Airport detected a live turtle, concealed in a man's pants last week.
