Breaking: Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.

Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.

Our full recap:

That’s a 29 point swing. In Arkansas.

Sen. Booker to Kristi Noem: "Either you are utterly incompetent, or you are violating laws with impunity. You should step down from your position. If you don't, you should be removed by this president. And if not, Congress should impeach you."

Split screen of Cory Booker and Kristi NOem.

WOWO. When Cory Booker asks Noem abt a warehouse she paid 2X what it was worth. She tries to filibuster.

He describes that DHS refused to set up a meeting with a GOP town board that doesn't want that warehouse.

Noem refuses to retract statements calling Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists Durbin asked Noem if she would like to retract her previous statements falsely calling Good and Pretti, who were both fatally shot by immigration agents in Minn

Noem refuses to retract statements calling Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists

Sen. DURBIN: Your agency arrested 261 DACA holders last year—and deported 86 of them. Why have you deported dozens of DACA holders?

Noem: We follow all laws.

Durbin: Why did you deport them?

Noem: I don’t know the details.

How many lies will Kristi Noem manufacture about immigrants today?

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

ACLU-NJ Responds to DOJ Lawsuit Demanding New Jersey Voter Rolls - ACLU of New Jersey The Trump administration’s attempt to obtain New Jersey’s full, unredacted voter file is an unconstitutional and unlawful overreach and a brazen abuse of power.

BREAKING: The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit demanding New Jersey voter data.

This is unconstitutional, unlawful, and a brazen abuse of power.

We're always ready to fight for the rights of New Jersey voters.

"In short, DHS's treatment of human beings citizen and non-citizen alike-reflects a chilling disregard for both human life and the rule of law," writes Governor Mikie Sherrill.

"𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬."

The Honorable Kristi Noem Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland Security 2801 Nebraska Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20528 Dear Secretary Noem: I write to express my strong opposition to the Department of Homeland Security's ("DHS") plan to convert an industrial warehouse in Roxbury Township, New Jersey, into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") immigration detention facility to process and detain up to 1,500 individuals. At the outset, DHS's lack of communication and transparency with Roxbury in its acquisition of the site is inexcusable. The people of Roxbury deserve better than to learn of a plan to place an immigration detention facility in their community through a newspaper article. When Roxbury officials attempted to engage DHS to confirm the existence of such a plan, they received no reply. Despite unanimous opposition by the Roxbury Township Council, it appears that DHS intends to proceed with the project, with little or no concern for Roxbury or the surrounding communities that would be affected by this facility. DHS's failure to engage with Roxbury residents and address the concerns of Roxbury officials belies the Trump Administration's professed commitment to transparency in government. Equally troublesome is the size and scope of the Roxbury facility. The current site is an industrial warehouse spanning approximately 470,000 square feet. According to news reports, DHS intends to convert the warehouse into an immigration detention facility that would accommodate up to 1,500 beds, potentially making it the largest such facility in our State. It would impose significant resource demands on Roxbury, a primarily residential community in the northwestern part of the State that shares environmental and public health services with surrounding towns. The placement of a massive immigration detention center in Roxbury raises environmental and quality of life concerns, including increased wastewater and trash, increased

strain on municipal services, and increased traffic in the vicinity of the site and the surrounding area, as well as concerns about potential conflicts with state and local building codes and zoning laws. We are unaware of any steps that DHS has taken to assess the disruption to residents or the environmental impact of a detention center in Roxbury. This facility would also siphon away what would otherwise be a viable economic opportunity for Roxbury and the entire State. New Jersey's warehouse and distribution sector is a critical engine of economic growth, contributing nearly $300 billion annually in business activity and directly or indirectly supporting more than 1.35 million jobs in the State. The industry generates over $112 billion in personal income and more than $33 billion in tax revenue. Finally, the Roxbury immigration detention facility will not make New Jerseyans safer. Across the country, federal immigration officers have trampled on basic liberties and engaged in unconscionable acts of violence against law-abiding Americans. These acts of violence have left Americans severely injured and, in some cases, resulted in their deaths. ICE agents have repeatedly violated the constitutional rights of citizens and non-citizens alike. I have no reason to believe that DHS will treat the people of New Jersey any differently should it expand its presence in our State. I am also gravely concerned about ICE's treatment of the individuals in its custody. An industrial warehouse even if retrofitted—is not suitable for human confinement. The deplorable conditions of ICE detention facilities throughout the country, including the Elizabeth Detention Center and Delaney Hall, are well-documented. Such conditions, which include undrinkable water, spoiled food, overcrowding, and a lack of medical care, are an affront to the values that New Jerseyans hold dear.

NEW: "Gov. Mikie Sherrill today expressed her opposition to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Sec. Kristi Noem regarding DHS’s plan to convert a 470,000 sq. foot industrial warehouse in Roxbury into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility."

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Blind Rohingya refugee dumped by CBP, dies in cold "They just left him."

"He cannot use a phone. He doesn’t know his address, he doesn’t know phone numbers, he can’t communicate, he can’t see. And they just left him.”

I've read a lot of infuriating things over the past year or so, but this lede is up there. This man spent a year being abused and tortured before being killed by this government. Totally unconscionable.

This is a type of ICE "ruse," and is a tactic the agency has deployed for decades.

In 2015, ICE went to my former client's house posing as cops and convinced his 16-year-old US citizen niece to call him home from work with a fake story (the "identity theft ruse" explained below), then arrested him.

Latest update from Columbia prez re: the abduction of their student this morning. DHS is fucking deranged.

“The agents gained entry by stating they were police searching for a missing child. Our security cameras captured the agents in the hallway showing pictures of the alleged missing child.”

MSA livestream! Sewer & water resources will be critical for stopping this detention facility in #RoxburyNJ! There is NO CAPACITY for it.
