Controversy Over Newark's Immigration Detention Center and a Tale of Resilience

State corrections officials confirm two deaths at Sing Sing prison as an unauthorized correctional officer strike continues, raising concerns over inmate care and facility conditions. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is opening its first new immigration detention center in Newark, doubling local detention space. Plus, a new book revisits a shocking 1973 crime in Park Slope, where a man poured sulfuric acid on a four-year-old neighbor, who later became a renowned scientist. Finally, the MTA reports collecting $48 million in congestion pricing tolls during its first month, but revenue fell short of initial projections as the agency prepares to fight the Trump administration’s order to shut down the program by March 21.
