From New York, the greatest city in the world, and now with reduced half mayonnaise, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! It'll finally feel like spring today, but the winds up to 45 mph will make it the opposite.
Some stories talked about on today's show were:
1. A man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for trying to aid the Islamic State group by helping a co-conspirator travel abroad to fight for the militant group in 2015. Saddam Mohamed Raishani was sentenced yesterday by U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams.
2. A Florida man who pleaded guilty to sending pipe bombs to CNN and prominent critics of President Trump says he thinks he was misunderstood at his guilty plea. Cesar Sayoc said in a letter to a federal judge that it was never his intent to harm anyone.
3. A congestion toll that would charge drivers to enter New York City's central business district is a first for an American city. State legislators included it in the state budget that was approved Monday.
