NYC Council Overrides Mayor's Veto, Mandates NYPD to Document Race in Interactions

The New York City Council rejected Mayor Eric Adams' veto of the "How Many Stops Act," which will require NYPD officers to document nearly every public interaction, including the apparent race, gender, and age of individuals. Despite the mayor's concerns about public safety and police workload, the council voted overwhelmingly to override the veto, also rejecting another bill banning solitary confinement in city jails. Supporters argue that the new reporting system will hold cops accountable for unlawful stops and help address racial profiling, while opponents fear it will strain police-community relations and delay critical response times. The mayor expressed willingness to negotiate the implementation of the bills with the council and NYPD in the coming months.

The French parliament has passed a controversial immigration bill that complicates family reunification, delays welfare benefits, and weakens rights for asylum seekers.

While right-wing parties see it as a victory, left-wing critics accuse Macron of enabling the far-right. Several French departments and regions have rejected certain provisions of the law, revealing a division within Macron's alliance. The prime minister acknowledges potential constitutional issues, and the French vote comes ahead of an EU asylum system reform agreement.
