May 5, 2026: ICE, NYPD, Protesters Clash in Bushwick + David Orkin Socialist Assembly Candidate
About this episode
The episode discusses the clash between ICE, NYPD, and protesters in Bushwick, along with an interview with socialist assembly candidate David Orkin.
In the first half of our May 5 show, we spoke with movement journalist Talia Jane and Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso about the chaos that rocked Bushwick late Saturday night when ICE and NYPD clashed outside Wyckoff Hospital with protesters trying to prevent ICE from taking away an immigrant they had arrested and injured earlier that night. Mayor Zohran Mamdani says that the NYPD did not collaborate with ICE. Some of his supporters believe otherwise. In the second half of the show we spoke with David Orkin. He's an immigrant workers’ rights attorney at Make the Road New York. He’s running for Assembly District 38 in Queens as a democratic socialist who wants to bring the struggle against ICE and oligarchy into the state legislature. His opponent is one of former Mayor Eric Adams’s most notorious allies.
