Gwynne Hogan joins FAQ NYC to discuss The City Reporter’s big investigation of months of street arrests in and around New York City, and her coverage of the violent scenes playing out now outside of where many of those immigrants are detained at Newark’s Delaney Hall:

Plus, hosts Christina Greer, Katie Honan and Harry Siegel dig into the news from another jam-packed summer week in New York City including the strange political bedfellows in a wild race in Harlem, the afterlife of Eric Adams’ zombie city charter commission and much more.
