A Democrat who was elected sheriff in Pennsylvania last month hopes others are watching: “It sends a message to elected public safety officials across the country that partnering with ICE is a loser in a district that’s remotely a swing district.”
Voters Ousted This Pennsylvania Sheriff After He Signed Up to Collaborate With ICE
A populous swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

Trump's deal to sell TikTok won't just enrich his billionaire pal Larry Ellison.
It also gives UAE investment firm MGX — a key business partner of the Trump family's crypto company — a major ownership stake in TikTok.

A federal women's prison - recently shuttered over sexual abuse of immigrants - could reopen as an ICE detention center as part of Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
"Imagine, if I get sent back to Dublin but now for immigration?" one immigrant survivor of sexual abuse at FCI Dublin told me.
