Four North Shore High School seniors led an anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest at Memorial Park on June 10, drawing attention to what they called the Trump administration’s "alarming" immigration policies.

Organized as part of their senior capstone project, the protest served as a civic action component of their social studies curriculum.

After New York State passed legislation to allow law enforcement and other personnel on Long Island to carry and administer epinephrine auto-injectors, like EpiPens, in case of allergic reactions, Congresswoman Laura Gillen announced she and Congressman Andrew Garbarino would introduce legislation for a federally funded program to help equip law enforcement vehicles with EpiPens, among training efforts.

“This is a bipartisan issue, and this is a public safety issue,” Gillen said.

The legislation, deemed Gio’s Law, honors Lynbrook resident Giovanni Cipriano, who was 14 years old when he died after an allergic reaction.

Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney refuted several of the objections made by the first witness called by the defense of alleged Gilgo Beach killer, Rex Heuermann, over two long days of cross-examination at Suffolk County Court between June 17 and 18.

Tierney focused on Nathaniel Adams background, speaking engagements, and work. He argued that the 38-year-old systems engineer has a pattern of repudiating not only newer DNA testing methods but also those that courts and the scientific community have widely accepted. Tierney said that Adams rejects "almost every modality of DNA testing, including those deemed widely admissible by the courts in this country."

Tierney analyzed how Adams reviewed the California-based lab's procedures and then flipped the script on him—comparing the "several pages of notes" that Adams provided to the court on June 18 to the 28 terabytes of data that he claimed Astrea labs had provided to the district attorney's office.

Nassau Community College students will see a tuition increase this fall under a newly approved $185 million budget for the 2025-26 academic year.

County legislators voted unanimously Monday to adopt the spending plan, which raises annual in-state tuition for full-time students by $190 — the first hike since the 2021-22 school year. The increase brings the total yearly cost for students enrolled in 12 credits or more to $5,990.

School officials said the modest tuition bump was necessary to maintain services and build financial reserves following a period of budgetary challenges.
