U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a "Save America Rally" near the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021. A federal judge on Friday ordered the release of more than 1,800 pages of documents filed by special counsel Jack Smith in the criminal election interference case against former President Donald Trump. Trump preemptively complained about the release of the records Friday morning, claiming it was "election interference" and calling Chutkan "evil." Smith was "going to release something else, and always before the election," Trump said during an interview with podcast host Dan Bongino in Manhattan's Trump Tower.

A city-run program called Promise NYC has tried to ease some of the challenges by partnering with local organizations to provide free child care through subsidy payments to child care centers that enroll migrant children. A survey conducted by Algun Dia, the migrant vendors outreach project, found that the need stretched across many families. “We found that 84% of the individuals that we had surveyed were vending out of necessity, and they were doing so because of their lack of child care.
