New York Governor Andrew Cuomo traveled to Washington, D.C., Tuesday for talks with President Trump at the White House, where the pair reportedly agreed to ramp up diagnostic testing for COVID-19 in New York. Nearly 15,000 New Yorkers have died of the disease, with more than a quarter-million testing positive — though the true infection rate is certain to be far higher due to a critical shortage of testing capacity.

Meanwhile, scores of immigrant rights activists drove their cars through a largely empty Times Square in Manhattan Tuesday, blaring their horns in a protest demanding emergency cash benefits for undocumented workers. Governor Cuomo has so far refused to follow California’s example by aiding immigrants who did not qualify for the federal government’s $1,200 coronavirus relief payments.
