From the president having ICE agents setting up shop at Rikers Island to deal with deportation of undocumented immigrants, to possible cuts in the New York City budget because of the Trump administration, it is top of mind for a city that, like many Americans, are worried about the economy and what happens to people without money.
On this edition of Up Close, we get an inside look from New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, who is hip deep in all this, and she's more than concerned about it all.
We'll also take a new look at how our lives in New York are about to change -- and fast.
In about four years, 25% of New Yorkers will be 60 or older. That's one out of four of us.
We speak to the commissioner of Aging in New York, Lorraine Cortes Vazquez, who is thinking about this a lot, and deeply. She offers an amazing look at the future, and what we can do in the present.
Up Close airs Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m. on Channel 7, WABC-TV in New York City.
