On Wednesday, November 5, ICE agents swept into Hampton Bays and Westhampton, setting upon immigrant laborer gathering spots and businesses that employ or are frequented by immigrants. The officers made several arrests as part of the largest local federal immigration sweep since the start of the second Donald Trump administration.
This week, the editors talk about the operation with senior reporter Michael Wright, New York State Assemblyman Tommy John Schiavoni and, from OLA of Eastern Long Island, Executive Director Minerva Perez and legal advocate Erika Padilla.

From Hither Hills to Prague: The Sounds of the Season
This week, the editors are joined by East Hampton reporter Jack Motz and Kurt Gottwald, a Hither Hills State Park lifeguard who, last year, converted his decades-old onsite trailer at the campground into a makeshift music studio.
His latest project is a six-track indie rock album called “Montauk New York.” On it, Gottwald weaves tales of local stories into larger musings about capitalism, consumerism and online culture. As his lifeguard job in Montauk winds down for the season and he prepares to travel overseas to spend the coming months in Prague, Gottwald shared his inspiration and unique philosophy on life, music making, nature and the changing face of the East End.
