Something to hide? ICE under fire for substandard conditions at for-profit detention center
On what planet do ICE agents fire tear gas at a United States senator?
Um, that would be this planet, I guess.
Sen. Andy Kim, a New Jersey Democrat, was trying to play a mediating role between protestors and a hunger strike being conducted at the ICE detention center, Delaney Hall, in Newark.
Kim was allowed in only after calling Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, a former Senate colleague.
Here’s what Kim described on Facebook:
"18-year-old high school student crying and saying she just wanted to graduate senior year."
"Woman who had a miscarriage and left to manage all on her own."
"Mom not allowed to spend more than a few minutes with 4-month-old baby."
It went on in that vein.
"Our government should focus on helping Americans afford their lives, not lock people up in for-profit detention centers," he said.
Outside, the senator positioned himself between ICE agents and the demonstrators, holding up his arms, according to NJ.com. The agents fired their chemical irritants anyway, hitting Kim and many in the crowd. Medics were later photographed washing out Kim’s eyes.
New Jersey’s new governor, Democrat Mikie Sherrill, showed up and was refused entry to the detention center.
"What I heard from them was heartbreaking," Sherill said, referring to family members and advocates.
What are these people trying to hide, anyway? Turning away the state’s governor?
Sherill said she has heard from relatives of detainees who have complained about spoiled food and lack of medical care.

Mullin accused Sherill, Cory Booker and other Jersey Democrats of "smearing ICE law enforcement" and said there was no hunger strike or substandard conditions at the center. "They should be thanking our law enforcement for removing these murderers, pedophiles, rapists and drug traffickers from their state."
After the tragic fatal shootings of two American citizens, ICE has been out of the news for a while. That was the goal of Mullin, who said he would keep a low profile, in marked contrast to his fired predecessor, Kristi Noem.
He has also adopted some reforms, such as requiring agents to obtain a search warrant before entering a home, which would have avoided several embarrassing episodes of wrong addresses and mistaken identities.
As Mullin said at his confirmation hearing in March, "My goal in six months is that we’re not in the lead story every single day." The White House wants to play down the volatile issue heading into the midterms.
A major problem has been poorly trained agents who were allowed to join the force with a shortened 47-day training program. Mullin restored the standard 72-day curriculum.
Look, most ICE agents are trying to do a dangerous job under difficult conditions. Hundreds of people have been charged with assaulting or impeding a federal officer.
What makes matters worse are claims that some ICE agents haven’t received their full paychecks or a promised $50,000 sign-up bonus.
I’m not wild about for-profit detention centers, but what choice do they have? There aren’t enough prison cells to hold all these detainees. Delaney Hall, for instance, holds up to 1,000 of them.
An attorney says 74 cases were assigned to one judge on a single day.
But substandard care is unacceptable. We often hear the phrase "no one is above the law."
If ICE was proud of these facilities, why are they blocking people like the governor from coming in? We talk about inspections of Iranian nuclear development — why isn’t Delaney Hall open for top elected officials to see how taxpayer dollars are being spent inside? Federal and state prisons are inspected all the time.
This should be a requirement for anyone running these places. And they’ve obviously got plenty that they want to keep secret.
All 50,000 evacuees cleared to return home after chemical tank crisis at Southern California aerospace plant
All evacuation orders stemming from a hazardous materials incident at a Southern California aerospace facility were lifted Tuesday night, allowing thousands of residents to return home.
Officials lifted the final evacuation order for residents in Garden Grove living near a damaged chemical tank at GKN Aerospace Transparency Systems that had previously been at risk of exploding.
Authorities said roughly 50,000 people were ordered to evacuate in and around the Orange County city after a tank containing highly flammable methyl methacrylate (MMA) overheated and became compromised.
"All residents will go home," Orange County Fire Authority Division Chief Craig Covey said during a meeting.
DISNEYLAND REMAINS OPEN AS EVACUATION ZONE SHRINKS AROUND CHEMICAL TANK SCARE
Over Memorial Day weekend, a crack unexpectedly formed in the tank, relieving pressure and helping avert a catastrophic explosion, allowing most evacuees to return home. Still, roughly 16,000 residents remained under evacuation orders heading into Tuesday.
Crews continued spraying water on the tank until the interior temperature stabilized at 92 degrees, down from 100 degrees over the weekend.
A sprinkler system also doused the tank while company specialists and firefighters removed insulation to help cool it.

Authorities said evacuation orders were lifted after the tank’s temperature remained stable for four hours without assistance from the sprinkler system.
While health officials have assured residents that monitoring had not detected hazardous levels of contamination or fumes, authorities said they will continue monitoring air quality, sewer systems and storm drains for several months.
Exposure to MMA can cause serious respiratory problems, neurological issues, and irritation to the skin, eyes and throat, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
WORKERS KILLED AND MANY TREATED AFTER REFINERY CHEMICAL RELEASE AS INVESTIGATORS PROBE CAUSE
Garden Grove Mayor Stephanie Klopfenstein said she plans to hold the company accountable.
GKN said in a statement Tuesday that it was continuing to work closely with authorities.
"We apologize for the ongoing disruption this incident is causing, and our priority remains the safety of our neighbors and our community," the statement said.
Residents at the meeting questioned why large quantities of the chemical were stored near homes and urged city officials to scrutinize the company’s safety practices.
Crews had been racing to prevent a catastrophic failure since Thursday, when officials responded to vapor releasing from a in a storage tank at the facility, which manufactures engine structures and products for commercial and military aircraft.
Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency Saturday as crews shifted from defensive containment operations to high-risk offensive actions aimed at preventing an explosion.
Orange County Fire Authority Chief TJ McGovern told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday the crisis was likely caused by the failure of a cooling system designed to regulate the temperature inside the chemical tanks, though officials were still investigating.
He said the malfunction may have caused heat to build inside a pressurized tank containing 7,000 gallons of MMA.
"We don’t know why, but it stopped cooling," McGovern said. "So that’s what started this event, to where the product heated up ... and that’s how this whole response started. We’re just now being able to get to the tanks, so there’s definitely more to come of what caused it."

Pam Bondi diagnosed with thyroid cancer weeks after departing as Trump's attorney general: report
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after departing the Department of Justice last month, according to a report.
Bondi, 60, who left her role at the Justice Department in early April, underwent treatment and is recovering, a source told Axios.
Katie Miller, a former White House staffer and podcast host who is married to White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller, reposted the report on X Tuesday evening.
"Pam has been quietly kicking cancer's ass the last few weeks," she wrote.

She added that Bondi has "a heart of gold."
Axios disclosed the health update while reporting that Bondi has been appointed by President Donald Trump to an advisory committee focused on artificial intelligence policy.
According to the report, Bondi is expected to serve on the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

The council is co-chaired by White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks and White House science adviser Michael Kratsios.
Bondi will reportedly help facilitate coordination between the federal government and technology executives serving on the panel.
News of Bondi’s diagnosis and new advisory role comes weeks after Trump removed her as attorney general.
KARL ROVE: TRUMP DROPPED BONDI, BUT THE REAL POLITICAL FIGHT IS JUST BEGINNING
In a Truth Social post announcing her departure, Trump described Bondi as "a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend."
"Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900," Trump wrote. "We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future."
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has served as acting attorney general since Bondi’s departure.
BLANCHE INVOKES TRUMP ‘LOVE’ WHEN ASKED ABOUT STAYING ON AFTER BONDI
In a post on X confirming her exit from the Justice Department, Bondi said she remains "eternally grateful for the trust that President Trump placed in me to Make America Safe Again."
"Over the next month I will be working tirelessly to transition the office of Attorney General to the amazing Todd Blanche before moving to an important private sector role I am thrilled about, and where I will continue fighting for President Trump and this Administration," Bondi wrote.
"Leading President Trump’s historic and highly successful efforts to make America safer and more secure has been the honor of a lifetime, and easily the most consequential first year of the Department of Justice in American history," she added.

Thunder push Spurs to brink with dominant Game 5 win as Wembanyama posts series-low 20 points
The Oklahoma City Thunder are just one win away from a second consecutive NBA Finals berth. The Western Conference Finals shifted back to Oklahoma City on Tuesday night, with the defending league champions pulling away in the second half for a 127-114 victory in Game 5.
The reigning two-time NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 32 points and nine assists Tuesday night.

Stephon Castle led the Spurs with 24 points and five rebounds, while Victor Wembanyama finished with a series-low 20 points.
Entering Tuesday, the Spurs appeared to follow a relatively simple formula for success in the Western Conference Finals: When Wembanyama was the best player on the floor, they won. When he wasn’t, they lost.
Wembanyama, who delivered 41- and 33-point performances in the Spurs’ two wins earlier in the series, never appeared to fully find his rhythm in Game 5. He was 4 for 15 from the floor, missing all five of his 3-point attempts.
He offered an impassioned speech to teammates during a timeout barely two minutes into the third quarter, after the Thunder opened an 18-point lead. And it worked — to a point. Oklahoma City scored again to get the lead up to 20, but the Spurs closed within eight later in the third.
Elsewhere, the New York Knicks will have to wait until at least Thursday to find out which team emerges from the Western Conference.
Even before Game 5 of the Spurs-Thunder series tipped off, San Antonio coach Mitch Johnson was asked about Knicks fans in Manhattan chanting, "We want Wemby! We want Wemby!"
"I know New York’s on fire. They won so that city is obviously enjoying it and they’ve had a heck of a playoff run," Johnson said. "But unfortunately, I’ve been pretty locked-into what we’ve got going right here in front of us."

Ex-NFL linebacker poised to return to Congress after Texas runoff win with Jasmine Crockett endorsement
Former Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas, is poised to secure a comeback bid for Congress after winning a hotly contested Democratic primary Tuesday.
Allred defeated Rep. Julie Johnson, D-Texas, in a runoff election for a recently redrawn House seat Tuesday, according to The Associated Press.
The victor is almost certain to win the November general election for the deep-blue district. Republicans redrew the Dallas-based seat to make it even more Democratic last year while passing a new congressional map designed to help the GOP flip as many as five seats.
The primary contest turned negative as both candidates fought to keep their political careers alive in one of the few remaining Texas House seats where Democrats still hold an advantage.
REDISTRICTING HELPS REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS FLIP HOUSE SEATS
Democratic Texas Rep. Marc Veasey, the district’s incumbent, chose not to run for re-election, prompting Johnson to join the race after Republicans effectively drew her out of her district.
Johnson, a freshman lawmaker, succeeded Allred in Congress after he vacated the seat to mount a failed bid to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in 2024.
Allred decided to challenge Johnson for the open House seat in late 2025 after suspending his 2026 Senate campaign when it failed to gain traction.
The former NFL linebacker later endorsed Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, during the final months of the Senate primary contest after accusing state Rep. James Talarico, Crockett's opponent, of making a racist remark about him that he allegedly said during a private phone call with a party activist.
Talarico, the Democratic Party's Senate nominee, vigorously denied calling Allred a "mediocre Black man" and said his private remarks referred to the former congressman's campaign style.
TEXAS DEM SENATE CANDIDATE'S 'MEDIOCRE' COMMENT ROCKS RACE
Crockett endorsed Allred in April and appeared with him on the campaign trail. Meanwhile, Talarico publicly supported Johnson’s campaign.
Johnson was also backed by House Democratic leadership, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the pro-abortion group EMILY’s List and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, among other groups.
Allred likely benefited from higher name recognition due to previous statewide runs and a significant fundraising advantage.
He emerged as the top vote-getter during the March 3 primary, leading Johnson by an 11-point margin. However, the former congressman failed to secure more than 50% of the vote, sending the race to a runoff election.
Trump-backed Air Force veteran wins GOP runoff in newly-redistricted House district
President Donald Trump’s endorsed House Republican candidate for Texas’ 35th Congressional District is projected to win his race against longtime San Antonio state lawmaker John Lujan.
Carlos de la Cruz, an Air Force veteran, is the brother of Trump ally Rep. Monica de la Cruz, R-Texas, in a nearby district.
The de la Cruzes could be the next in a rare historical line of siblings serving together in the House of Representatives.
One of America’s first congressional leaders served with his brother as well.
Inaugural House Speaker Frederick Muhlenberg of Pennsylvania served alongside Rep. John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg of Pennsylvania in the 1780s and 1790s.
The three Washburn brothers — Israel of Maine, Elihu of Illinois and Cadwallader of Wisconsin — all served together in the 1850s and 1860s, while more recently sisters Loretta and Linda Sanchez — both California Democrats — found themselves in the same chamber in the early part of this century.
De La Cruz and Lujan are competing for the newly redrawn district, which is currently represented numerically by "Squad" member Rep. Gregorio Casar of the Austin area.
Casar, however, chose to run in an adjacent district that encompasses part of his current district after that officeholder, fellow Democratic Rep. Lloyd Doggett, elected not to run for re-election contingent on Texas’ new map passing legal muster.
The new district stretches south to San Antonio and is considered much more Trump-friendly than in past elections.
Lujan originally won the March primary 33%-27% over De La Cruz, who finished second and advanced to Tuesday’s contest.
De La Cruz was deployed to the Middle East and Mexican border, and also has the endorsement of both his sister and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.
WATCH: HOUSE DEMS UNLOAD ON TEXAS DEMOCRAT OVER ‘DEMENTED’ ANTISEMITIC COMMENTS
Lujan is a longtime state lawmaker with deep familiarity in the district, while the real controversy is on the Democratic side of the ticket.
Democratic primary candidate Maureen Galindo, who lost Tuesday night, received nationwide backlash, including from her own party, for floating the idea of using an ICE detention center in her district to instead imprison wealthy "Zionists."
The rhetoric and plans were called out as grossly antisemitic by Democrats ranging from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the far left to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, both Democrats from New York City.
Democrats are still reportedly bullish on their prospects in the more Trump-friendly seat, which is also majority Hispanic, come November.
U.S. military kills alleged narco-terrorist in lethal strike on drug-trafficking vessel in Eastern Pacific
The U.S. military carried out a lethal strike Tuesday on a suspected drug-trafficking vessel in the Eastern Pacific, killing an alleged narco-terrorist, according to U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM).
"On May 26, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations," SOUTHCOM said in a post on X.
"Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations," the post continued.
The military said one alleged narco-terrorist was killed in the strike and two others survived.
SOUTHCOM said it immediately notified the U.S. Coast Guard to begin search-and-rescue operations for the survivors.
No U.S. forces were injured, the military said.
SOUTHCOM did not immediately release additional information about those targeted in the operation.
US MILITARY KILLS 3 IN LATEST STRIKE ON A SUSPECTED DRUG VESSEL IN THE PACIFIC
The U.S. military has carried out multiple strikes in recent months targeting suspected drug-smuggling vessels as part of a broader campaign aimed at dismantling cartel-linked trafficking operations.
Tuesday’s strike followed similar operations earlier this month.
SOUTHCOM said it targeted another vessel in the Eastern Pacific on May 8, killing two male narco-terrorists and leaving one survivor. Days earlier, the military conducted another strike in the Caribbean that killed two suspected traffickers.
The Eastern Pacific and Caribbean are major corridors for narcotics trafficking, with cartels often using small, fast-moving vessels to transport drugs toward the United States and Central America.
SOUTHCOM oversees military operations in Central and South America and the Caribbean, including counter-narcotics missions focused on disrupting drug trafficking networks tied to organized crime groups.
Kirby Smart supports SEC leaving NCAA if there aren't major changes: 'I'm not afraid to break away'
As with everything else in the world of modern college football, there's debate and disagreement over how to handle NIL and other major issues around the sport.
There's the hope for more structure and consistent rules around things like roster limits, construction, spending, oversight and enforcement. The NCAA, weakened over time, has become an almost cosmetic body that primarily impacts individual player waivers.
There continues to be hope for national legislation to create some guardrails around college football. But with the difficulties in getting things done in D.C. and the compressed timeframe before the season starts, there's very little likelihood of new rules coming into effect soon. Which raises the question, what to do next?
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart has his opinion, and it's a surprising one: let the SEC break away and govern itself.
"I’ve said this for a long time to our president, I’ve been a huge advocate that if we can’t find rules that everybody plays by, then we should play on our own," Smart said to reporters at SEC spring meetings in Florida this week. "I’m not afraid of that. I’m not afraid to break away and say that our conference is strong enough to go out and play.
"If we could actually function financially, it would make our programs more stable. We could support things financially. I’m talking about all the sports and do our own rules – I’d be all for that."
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has said something similar, explaining that there's "frustration" about the lack of clarity moving forward.
"The fact that we’re talking about our own rules isn’t anything new," Sankey said earlier this week. "What you’re hearing is the expression of frustration about the lack of progress, and I’ll go back to March 6. I was in the White House, and I spoke about the need for national standards. We still believe we need national standards. If those can’t be achieved, then we’ll have to look at more conference-led regulation, but that’s the reality we’re facing."
Could this actually happen? Well, one Big 12 athletic director seemed to think it's not too far fetched, even saying he'd be fine with the Big Ten and SEC breaking away. Kirk Herbstreit, a prominent voice within the sport, also said he'd support the Power Four leaving the NCAA.
When this many big voices are saying the same thing, suddenly it becomes a lot more likely. As hard as it may be to believe, the NCAA's governance of college football might not be long for this world.
Texas Railroad Commissioner Jim Wright and wife share story of 2017 crash that left her permanently paralyzed
Texas Railroad Commissioner Jim Wright says his wife, Sherri, has always been more than just his partner.
"She’s not only my wife, she’s my best friend," Wright says in a newly released video from The American Border Story. "We were never apart. We do better together than we do apart."
The couple is publicly sharing for the first time the story of the 2017 crash that left Sherri permanently paralyzed, describing how a normal morning changed nearly every part of their lives.
Sherri Wright recalled first meeting Jim while working in San Antonio, where her desk happened to sit directly in front of the men’s restroom.

"Everybody would always talk to me except for Jim," she said in the video.
Jim Wright said he immediately noticed her.
"I remember meeting her there and thinking to myself that’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid my eyes on," he said.
After weeks of small conversations, the two became close friends before eventually marrying in Las Vegas during the National Finals Rodeo.
"It started out as being a friend turning into my best friend and then turning into my wife," Jim Wright said. "It’s just been amazing."
Then came Jan. 9, 2017.

"It was a normal day," Sherri Wright said.
She had just dropped the couple’s youngest son off at school and was driving home when the crash happened about a mile from their house.
Sherri Wright recalled the moment of impact and waking up trapped inside the wreckage.
"I remember my breath letting go," she said. "I just remember looking up and glass was going in my eyes."
"My son, he was trying as hard as he could to bend the metal to get me out," she added.
Jim Wright said he rushed to the scene before later learning his wife had been paralyzed.
AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT KILLED MY DAUGHTER — LEFTISTS MARCH FOR RENEE, NOT FOR KATIE
"And I just told him I didn’t want to live," Sherri Wright said.
"My whole life I worked. I took care of my kids," she said. "It changed everything. Basically took away more than half of my life."
The couple said the crash forced them to adapt to in-home care while Sherri Wright struggled with the loss of independence that came with her injuries.
Sherri Wright also described the emotional toll of feeling invisible in public.
"You know, I go places and they talk to whoever’s beside me rather than talk to me," she said. "Just because my hands and my legs don’t work doesn’t mean that I’m not a person. You deserve the respect that everybody else gets."
After describing the impact the crash had on their family, both Jim and Sherri Wright connected their experience to concerns about illegal immigration and border security.
"Families affected by illegal immigrants passing through this border should never have had to endure this," Sherri Wright said. "We do not not want you here. Just come here legally."
Jim Wright said he believes the broader issue goes beyond a single crash.
"That’s the root of the cause," he said. "Until we can figure out how to get a better grasp on controlling that cartel activity that’s going on in Mexico, I don’t think we’re ever going to be out of the dramatic expense that we’ve had to pay."
Still, the couple said they have focused on moving forward with the support of their family.
"I think there’s so many people out there like me," Sherri Wright said. "I’m just fortunate that I have a family that have all come around me and helped me and we can do things together as a family instead of me sitting in a nursing home."
"You can’t stay in and try to lay blame on everybody else," Jim Wright said. "You’ve got to make the best of that situation and it gets easier over time."
Controversial Democrat who called for ‘Zionists’ to be imprisoned toppled after backlash
Democrat Maureen Galindo, a South Texas sex therapist who drew nationwide ire from Democratic Party leaders, was defeated in her primary runoff against Bexar County Sheriff’s Office official Johnny Garcia, according to the Associated Press.
The seat, newly drawn following Texas Republicans’ redistricting effort, is currently represented by "Squad" member Rep. Gregorio Casar. However, the liberal lawmaker is running in an adjacent district being vacated by Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, leaving the now red-leaning seat up for grabs.
Galindo became a national flashpoint when she was accused of antisemitism for floating a plan to imprison "American Zionists" at an ICE detention center in the district while pushing back on suggestions she was trying to create an "internment camp."
Galindo shocked observers when she edged out Garcia in the original March primary, which led to Tuesday’s runoff.
WATCH: HOUSE DEMS UNLOAD ON TEXAS DEMOCRAT OVER ‘DEMENTED’ ANTISEMITIC COMMENTS
Garcia, meanwhile, condemned Galindo’s comments and partially blamed Republicans for bolstering her name recognition.
Garcia is a San Antonio native and has experience working as a police deputy, a SWAT hostage negotiator and a public information officer — the official tasked with speaking to the press and making public appearances.
His campaign was framed around his self-description as an old-school Democrat and was viewed as the more moderate choice in Tuesday’s contest.
Two Republicans are also vying for the seat in the Republican primary — one of whom is a relative of nearby GOP Rep. Monica de la Cruz.
With the 35th District redrawn in Republicans’ favor, Democrats appeared to view Galindo’s candidacy as a catastrophic liability.
Her rhetoric has since been condemned by members of the far left of her party, including Reps. Hakeem Jeffries and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
"This vile language by her is disqualifying and has no place in American politics, and certainly not in the Democratic Party," Jeffries and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said in a joint statement, adding, "To embrace and uplift a fringe candidate with antisemitic — and extremely dangerous — rhetoric and views in order to win an election is beyond the pale."
"Texans will not be fooled and will reject her at the ballot box next week," they added.
