Newark Mayor Ras Baraka orders mandatory curfew for protestors near Delaney Hall

Gov. Mikie Sherrill said she sent in state police to bring order outside Delaney Hall, taking control of the area over from ICE agents.

„It has grown unsafe, and that‘s completely unacceptable,“ the Democratic governor said at a news conference announcing the new measures. „We need to take this opportunity to lower the temperature.“

As police erected protest barriers, ICE agents who had formed an line in front of protesters moved inside the building‘s perimeter fence.

New Jersey State Police Lt. Col. David Sierotowicz said ICE officers agreed to stand down with state police assuming responsibility.

McIver Speaks out Against Unlawful Abuse Against Protestors and Detainees at Delaney

(May 28, 2026)

“I’m hearing from advocates and families on the ground reports of ICE pepper spraying and beating detainees inside Delaney Hall. I have seen the horrific conditions and spoken to those inside about the disgusting food, lack of medical care, and violent and unsanitary conditions as recently as this week. With demoted former USCBP Commander Greg Bovino’s announcement that he is coming to Newark today and his threats online to tear gas our community, I have even more concern that he will only escalate the chaos at Delaney,” said McIver. “More ICE violence has never made a situation safer. The only solution to stop the abuse at Delaney Hall and quell this terror nationwide is to shut down the facility and abolish ICE. We will keep standing up to this administration’s terror campaign and we will keep fighting for justice.”

On Monday, McIver made her fourth visit to Delaney Hall. The chaos created by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during McIver’s first visit to Delaney Hall, led to the Trump administration bringing baseless charges against her for conducting oversight. Her second visit came on the heels of the death of Jean Wilson Brutus in ICE custody. Her third visit was following the release of the S.O.S. letter signed by 300 detainees.

Rep. LaMonica McIver charged with assault after Newark mayor’s arrest outside ICE facility

(May 19, 2025)

In a clip released by the Department of Homeland Security, McIver can be seen on the facility side of a chain-link fence before crossing through the gate and joining a crowd shouting „surround the mayor.“ Video shows McIver pressing forward in the crowd, with her elbows making contact with a federal officer.

Homeland Security said the charge followed a „thorough review“ of the footage and an investigation by Homeland Security Investigations.

Türkei: Justizputsch in Ankara

Der 38. Parteitag der noch auf Staatsgründer Mustafa Kemal Atatürk zurückgehenden Republikanischen Volkspartei (CHP), auf dem 2023 der jetzige Parteichef Özgür Özel den langjährigen Vorsitzenden Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu abgelöst hatte, wurde wegen angeblicher Delegiertenbeeinflussung für »vollständig nichtig« erklärt.

Das Gericht beschloss, dass Kılıçdaroğlu vorerst die Parteigeschäfte führen soll. Er hatte seine Bereitschaft dazu bereits am Tag vor dem Urteil signalisiert.

The Rich Promised to Flee Mamdani’s New York. They Haven’t.

One of the strongest indicators of whether people or businesses are actually fleeing from a city is the housing and real estate market. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when many residents really did leave New York for the surrounding suburbs and other states, the city’s vacancy rates soared and rents dropped with demand, leading to “COVID discounts” at the height of the pandemic. This trend was even more extreme for the city’s commercial real estate, where vacancy rates doubled as more companies adopted remote work and shed office space.

Today nearly every indicator points to the opposite problem: demand is running hot and supply is lagging badly, especially when it comes to housing.

Columbia Student Is Released From ICE After Mamdani-Trump Meeting

It was the clearest sign yet that Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who has vocally opposed Mr. Trump on immigration enforcement matters, holds enough sway with the president to bend a highly charged situation through personal relationship and persuasion.

Elmina Aghayeva, GS ’26, released from ICE custody, after Mamdani, Trump talks

Aghayeva’s release comes after Mamdani shared his concerns about her arrest with Trump, after which the president informed him “that she will be released imminently,” Mamdani wrote in a Thursday afternoon X post. Mamdani’s advocacy came during an unannounced meeting about housing with Trump at the White House.

Columbia celebrated the news in a Thursday X post, writing that it was “thrilled” about Aghayeva’s release. The University added that it would have “additional details” to share Thursday evening.

(…)

A DHS official wrote in a Thursday statement to Spectator that the DHS terminated Aghayeva’s student visa in 2016 during the administration of President Barack Obama, CC ’83, for “failing to attend classes.”

The Interview – ‘A Terrifying Line Is Being Crossed’: Mayor Jacob Frey on the Turmoil in Minneapolis

We’ve got 600 police officers. They have between 3,000 and 4,000 federal agents. They are saying, and I’m hopeful that they are being honest and candid, that those numbers will be significantly drawn down. They are saying that the way that ICE and Border Patrol have been conducting themselves will change dramatically. So not these marauding gangs of guys just walking down the street indiscriminately picking people up, but having more of a targeted operation. This is not about ICE doing regular ICE stuff. What we have seen feels like an invasion.

Trump strikes a positive tone on Tim Walz after phone call with the Minnesota governor

It marks a noticeable shift in the way the president has talked about Walz, whom he’s repeatedly criticized for his handling of a fraud scandal in Minnesota and blamed for unrest that has led to federal officers shooting and killing two people in recent weeks.

As recently as Saturday, after a federal agent’s fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, Trump accused Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who is also a Democrat, of „inciting Insurrection, with their pompous, dangerous, and arrogant rhetoric“ and slammed them as „sanctimonious political fools.“

Walz and Frey both talk to President Trump today; Say positive conversations

Trump and Democratic Gov. Tim Walz spoke in a phone call and later offered comments that were a marked change from the critical statements they have exchanged in the past. Their conversation happened on the same day a federal judge heard arguments in a lawsuit aimed at halting the federal immigration enforcement surge in the state.

“We, actually, seemed to be on a similar wavelength,” the president wrote in a social media post.

Walz, in a statement, said the call was “productive” and that impartial investigations into the shootings were needed

Prosecutors Subpoena Minnesota Democrats as Part of Federal Inquiry

The subpoenas sought documents from Gov. Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis and Mayor Kaohly Her of St. Paul related to their policies on immigration enforcement efforts in the state. Two Minnesota prosecutors, Keith Ellison, the state attorney general, and Mary Moriarty, the Hennepin County attorney, were also sent similar subpoenas.

Justice Department opens investigation into Minnesota governor and Minneapolis mayor

Walz, in a post on X, did not explicitly address the news reports, but said: „Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.“

The killing of Renee Macklin Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer last week became a flashpoint for the simmering opposition to federal agents operating within the state.

Amtsantritt von Mamdani: Eine neue Ära für New York?

„Wem gehört New York?“, fragt Zohran Mamdani in seiner Antrittsrede, in der der links-demokratische Politiker deutlich macht, dass er nicht vor hat, kleine Brötchen zu backen. Er wendet sich direkt an jene Kritiker, die ihm im Vorfeld zur Mäßigung rieten: „Beim Schreiben dieser Rede wurde mir gesagt, dies sei der Anlass, die Erwartungen herunterzuschrauben. Ich solle diese Gelegenheit nutzen, um die Menschen in New York dazu zu ermutigen, wenig zu verlangen und noch weniger zu erwarten. Das werde ich nicht tun. Die einzige Erwartung, die ich zurückschrauben möchte, ist die der geringen Erwartungen. Ab heute werden wir umfassend und kühn regieren.“

“What we did is we discussed crime, more than ICE per se, we discussed crime. He doesn’t want to see crime and I don’t want to see crime,” Trump said. “And I have very little doubt that we’re not going to get along on that issue.”

Running to Hochul’s left, Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado says tax hikes on the wealthiest may be on the table

(June 18, 2025)

Earlier Wednesday, Gov. Hochul told Pix 11, “I don’t want to lose more people to Palm Beach“ when asked about New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s plan to raise taxes. Delgado referenced the governor’s comment when explaining his own position on taxes.

“All options should be on the table, and the notion that we wouldn’t contemplate raising taxes on the super wealthy, or that we wouldn’t contemplate making sure that larger corporations pay more into the system, to me, is the exact type of ‘maintain the status quo, do what you need to do just to maintain power’ as opposed to actually thinking about what is required,” he stated.

Hochul has raised corporate taxes, but has held the line on raising new income taxes.

Here’s Every Bill That Kathy Hochul Vetoed in 2024

(January 3, 2025)

In her first three full years in office, she axed an average of roughly one in seven bills that went to her desk, a higher rate than her recent predecessors. And she has continued to negotiate so-called chapter amendments to dozens of other bills, signing less legislation as the legislature passed it than any governor since at least George Pataki — a Republican who presided over a divided legislature for his entire tenure. (Hochul, by contrast, has only ever worked with a legislature led by her fellow Democrats.)

This year, she vetoed 124 standalone bills as well as 15 line items in the state budget.
