Midday News: New York and New Jersey Sue U.S. Education Dept., NYPD Vet’s Troubling Record, Measles Case in Suffolk County, Trump’s Immigration Chief Visits Albany, and Former MTA Chief on Subway Chal

New York and New Jersey are suing the U.S. Department of Education over planned staffing cuts that could slash the agency’s workforce in half. Meanwhile, a veterinarian hired by the NYPD has a history of poor record-keeping and dishonesty about his care of animals. Also, health officials in Suffolk County have confirmed a measles case in an unvaccinated child, marking the third case in the state this year. Plus, during a visit to Albany, President Trump’s top immigration official, Tom Homan, was confronted by protesters over the arrest of Columbia University graduate, Mahmoud Khalil. Finally, former MTA Transit President Sarah Feinberg argues that New York leaders must tackle the subway’s deep-rooted problems rather than just celebrating its importance.
