Undocumented immigrants across the tri-state area are grappling with a new online registry unveiled by the Trump administration, prompting legal questions about whether to enroll. Meanwhile, officials say asbestos has been detected at the site of last week’s massive Bronx fire, though no public health risk has been confirmed.
