Morning Headlines: New York Officials Brace for National Guard Deployment, Court Blocks Nassau Transgender Athlete Ban, Cuomo Pledges to Rebuild Rikers, and Yankees Knocked Out of Playoffs

From NYC NOW WNYC
Elected officials from New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles held a strategy call as they prepare for possible National Guard and federal law enforcement deployments ordered by President Trump. Meanwhile, a state appeals court has ruled Nassau County cannot enforce its ban on transgender female athletes at county run facilities. Also, mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo says he’d rebuild the Rikers Island jail complex instead of closing it. And the Yankees’ season ends with a 5–2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 4 of the ALDS.
