The person killed was a 15-year-old girl, according to the Portsmouth Times. Three other victims suffering from “significant injuries” — two 17-year-old girls and a 49-year-old woman — were taken to Rhode Island Hospital. Their names were not released.

Jessica: Abrego Garcia's legal status was approved by the Trump administration in 2019, and every year since then, he has checked in with the departed of homeland security, and no one has said anything about him being a gang banger.

Reminder: this was not a "mandate" election. 2 out of 100 voters changed their minds in WI, MI, PA and GA and swung this election in a small, but material way. Trump will finish with less than 50% of the vote (less than Biden and both Obama wins).
