Gov. Kathy Hochul met with Trump Border Czar Tom Homan in Albany on Friday. The meeting came one day after the firing of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristy Noem and amid fury over the recent death of a blind, disabled refugee in Buffalo after he was released from border patrol custody and reported missing by his family. Also, as the state Health Department celebrates 125 years of ensuring public health, State Health Commissioner Dr. Jim McDonald joined Capital Tonight’s Susan Arbetter on Friday to discuss vaccine hesitancy, the challenges facing rural health care and the state’s ongoing efforts to address child poverty.Â
