The Indypendent News Hour on WBAI-99.5 FM // 10 June '25

In our first segment, co-host Amba Guerguerian joins us live from Foley Square, where immigrant rights groups and their allies are rallying today to protest the Trump administration’s mass deportation program and the increasingly brazen tactics used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, to detain and deport immigrants. Then we speak with a participant in the rolling hunger strike by students and faculty at the City University of New York. The hunger strikers want CUNY to cut all ties with Israel and companies that do business with Israel. And in the final part of the show, we catch up on the mayor’s race with Indy Contributing Editor Nicholas Powers. A new poll out shows former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s lead over his top challenger, Zohran Mamdani, shrinking to a mere two points.
