Topics for Tuesday, June 17, 2025:

• New York City Comptroller Brad Lander was released hours after being arrested by federal agents at an immigration court yesterday. Governor Kathy Hochul condemned the arrest. The Department of Homeland Securities said he was arrested for assaulting law enforcement and impeding a federal officer, but Lander denied this. The mayoral candidate had linked arms with a migrant that authorities were trying to detain which resulted in agents arresting him.
• New York’s Top Pigeon has been crowned! The High Line’s Pigeon Fest was on Saturday and featured a Pigeon Impersonation Pageant. WFUV’s Livia Regina takes us to the competition.
• WFUV’s Lainey Nguyen met with Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson to hear about how the borough is recognizing the LGBTQ+ movement for Pride month.
