Elected Officials Arrested Protesting ICE at Federal Plaza

Mayor Eric Adams says Thursday’s arrest of a 16-year-old student at Cardozo High School in Bayside shows how easy access to firearms is putting New Yorkers at risk. Police say they found a loaded 9mm pistol with 13 rounds in the teen’s backpack after the FBI flagged a threatening Instagram post. Meanwhile, New York pharmacies are administering updated COVID-19 vaccines ahead of federal guidance, following an executive order from Governor Hochul. Plus, 11 New York City elected officials were freed Friday after being arrested outside 26 Federal Plaza, where they were protesting immigration enforcement practices. WNYC’s Arya Sunderam joins us to explain what happened and what it means.
