More on Mamdani’s bus platform: “Fast was the first part of his formula for buses. The free part is going to have to be studied” “I personally am focused on affordability for people of limited means”

Activists and legal advocates are tracking seemingly random detentions of immigrants on the streets in what they say is a campaign of ethnic profiling.
