About this episode

Hundreds of migrants are expected to arrive at the emergency shelter built at Creedmore Psychiatric Facility but neighbors are pushing back and police have arrested at least 13 protestors. Also, Federal prosecutors have charged a former fundraiser for embattled congressman George Santos. And finally, Norman Seabrook, the longtime boss of the Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association, was once a towering figure in New York City labor politics. But in 2019, he was sentenced to four years in prison after accepting a bribe. This March Seabrook was granted early release and WNYC's Charles Lane caught up with him recently and joins our own Carlson to talk about their conversation. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
