Since Donald Trump’s victory two weeks ago, some people are worried about one of his main campaign promises — to launch the largest deportation operation in American history. What does that really mean, and how feasible is it that it will happen at the scale the president-elect is promising?
This week, NY1’s Errol Louis spoke to three experts — Lee Gelernt, the deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union Immigrants’ Rights Project; Elora Mukerjee, director of Columbia Law School’s Immigrants’ Rights Clinic; and Luis Gomez Alfaro, an attorney in New York and New Jersey, with extensive experience in immigration law — about what Trump can truly do legally. They also discuss the possibility of ending birthright citizenship, what will be happening at the border and the impact Trump’s plans will have on millions across the country. And they provided some specific, practical information for immigrants who are worried about being detained.

One week after Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris, many across the country are wondering how he won so soundly and what this means for the country moving forward. Trump has wasted little time naming cabinet members to his incoming administration, while Democrats are scratching their heads and pointing fingers about what went wrong. At the same time, while the president-elect won all of the swing states on his road to the White House, Democrats either held onto or won Senate seats in four of those battleground states that Harris lost. So, is it a red wave or just a Trump wave?
To help make sense of all of this, veteran North Carolina Spectrum News political anchor Tim Boyum joined NY1’s Errol Louis to share his perspective as someone who watched the race play out in a swing state where Trump won the presidential race but the Democrats won the race for governor. They also discussed the realities of mass deportation, and the GOP retaining its House majority.

Easily winning on Election Day, Donald Trump will be returning to the White House as the nation’s 47th president. While New York was one of the few states Vice President Kamala Harris won, the margin of victory was significantly lower than usual for a Democrat, marking the party’s worst presidential performance in the state since 1988. Down-ballot, however, New York Democrats won some key congressional House races, as they will retake some of the seats they lost in the midterm elections in 2022. So what does all of this mean for New York?
Spectrum News political anchor Susan Arbetter joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss the results of the election and the impact it will have on New York. They also discussed why they were surprised by the country swinging right and the trouble in predicting elections. Additionally, Errol weighed in on how New York City Mayor Eric Adams may be feeling following Trump’s victory.

State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani announced his mayoral run last week, looking to unseat Mayor Eric Adams, who faces an uphill battle for reelection as he fights federal corruption charges. Mamdani is running as the most progressive candidate in the crowded race so far and has already received the endorsement of the New York City Chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Mamdani joined NY1’s Errol Louis to discuss his decision to run for mayor. The conversation also touched on his thoughts on the Adams administration, his role in helping taxi drivers, the war between Israel and Hamas and ways to improve the MTA through new technology.

The first indictment in modern history against a sitting New York City mayor has dominated local headlines. Where is the case headed? What will this mean for the administration’s ability to move forward with day-to-day operations? And what are the political implications if Mayor Eric Adams runs for reelection — or steps down? Vital City and the Columbia Journalism School hosted a virtual conversation featuring perspectives from law enforcement, journalism and government on the political and legal consequences of the allegations against Mayor Adams. The conversation was moderated by Errol Louis and included Stan Brezenoff; former First Deputy Mayor Carrie Cohen; former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District Tom Robbins; and investigative journalist and political strategist Basil Smikle.
Before that, Errol sits down with Spectrum News Chief National Political Reporter Josh Robin to discuss a brand new national special, “In Us We Trust: A Crisis of Confidence.”

Since 1984, American historian and professor Allan Lichtman has correctly predicted nine of the last 10 presidential races. Lichtman, however, does not use polling data. Instead, he has developed a set of 13 metrics — or, as he calls them, keys.
Lichtman appeared on the podcast in February to discuss his elaborate forecasting system, and he promised he’d return after he announced his pick for president. Now, Lichtman joined Errol to discuss why he believes Kamala Harris will be victorious in November. The pair also discussed the possibility of an October surprise, how past predictions have made him unpopular, and why it is governing, not campaigning, that ultimately matters.

This week, Mayor Eric Adams appeared in court, where federal prosecutors said they might bring additional charges against him and indict others. Adams has maintained he will fight the charges and continue doing his job effectively. Many others have called on him to resign.
The charges were brought by Damian Williams, the U.S. attorney for the southern district. NY1’s Errol Louis discussed Williams’ resume and how he became the first and only Black U.S. attorney in the 235-year-old history of the southern district.

In 1974, it would have seemed unlikely that a massive biography of a New York urban planner would become an essential volume in the library of almost every American politician and pundit.
But, if anything, Robert Caro’s exhaustive examination of the life and legacy of Robert Moses has become even more important and relevant as time passes. “The Power Broker” is often enthralling reading, and NY1’s Errol Louis tackles how it continues to captivate its readers, 50 years after its publication.
Through conversations with New York City journalists, historians and documentarians, Louis examines the book’s ongoing impact and relevance. The discussion delves into Caro’s meticulous research for the 1,200-page book while also reexamining Moses’ complex legacy. Documentary filmmaker Lizzie Gottlieb, historian Kenneth Jackson and New York Times reporter Dana Rubinstein, and Robert Caro himself (via exclusive NY1 archived interviews), provide a nuanced look at the influence of the book and its subject.

Since the Twin Towers fell, Lower Manhattan has gone through a tremendous overhaul. This week, NY1’s Errol Louis sat down with developer Larry Silverstein to talk about his long effort to rebuild the World Trade Center and the surrounding area.
The conversation took place in 7 World Trade Center, which was also destroyed on Sept. 11. It was the first building that was re-constructed by Silverstein, who had signed a 99-year lease for the World Trade Center Complex on July 24, 2001, just seven weeks before the terror attacks. He is detailing his experiences in a new memoir, titled, “THE RISING: The Twenty-Year Battle to Rebuild the World Trade Center.” They also discussed how he first got into the real estate business and how his wife’s insistence on visiting a dermatologist ultimately saved his life on Sept. 11.

In the 1970s, the Mafia still had a powerful presence in New York City. Near the end of the decade, a series of events transpired that ushered in the downfall of the notorious five families that controlled the streets of New York. In 1979, Carmine Galante, a powerful boss in the Bonanno crime family, was killed while having lunch in an Italian restaurant in Bushwick. The murder would become a cornerstone in the Mafia Commission Trial, the case that forever hamstrung organized crime in the United States and ended the Mafia’s golden era.
A new true crime podcast series from the Law & Order franchise called “Law & Order: Criminal Justice System” reveals how an unlikely team of young local police and prosecutors beat the odds in dismantling the Mafia’s grip on the city. Former Brooklyn homicide prosecutor Anna-Sigga Nicolazzi hosts the series, and she joined Errol Louis on this week's "You Decide" to discuss season 1. They also talked about the unique production style of the podcast, what topics future seasons may cover, and why the Mafia captured the minds of so many.

With hundreds of thousands of children already back to school across the country, there’s a renewed focus on making sure their classrooms aren’t health hazards. Lead pipes, substandard air filtration, lack of light and even bad acoustics have all proven to affect students, both academically and physically.
Spectrum News national health reporter Erin Billups visited two school districts working to create safe and healthy environments for their students in a new Spectrum News special, “Curing Our Classrooms.” She joined NY1’s Errol Louis to discuss why she decided to report on the “health” of school buildings, what she noticed when schools become modernized, the nearly impossible task of America raising the $85 billion it needs to fully renovate public schools, and why she’s still hopeful that things can change.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat is a professor of history and Italian studies at New York University. She writes about fascism, authoritarianism, propaganda and democracy protection. Her most recent book, “Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present,” explores what modern authoritarian leaders have in common and how they can be stopped.

Since Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, Kamala Harris has been riding a Democratic wave, raising over $200 million in a week with 66% of the donations coming from first-time donors. Vote.org said there was a massive increase in voter registration, with people under 35 making up nearly 85% of the new voters registering. And at a recent Zoom call for Harris supporters, over 100,000 people attempted to log on, which broke Zoom. All of this is welcome news for Democrats, as are the memes, the coconut trees, the social media presence and the Beyonce soundtrack.
But who exactly is Kamala Harris?
Alex Cohen is a Spectrum News political anchor in southern California and has been covering Harris for decades, including Harris’ time as a state senator and as state attorney general of California. She joined NY1’s Errol Louis to discuss Harris’ momentum and her record.

Daniel Squadron in 2017 and is focused on winning governing majorities by making state legislative campaigns more effective and better funded. The actor J. Smith-Cameron and author Melissa Walker are two members of the States Project team, and they say they’re starting to see the fruits of their grassroots efforts.
