Two candidates in Cascade County claim to be Democrats. Local party leadership says that’s a hoax.
Both candidates for the state Legislature deny any shenanigans, but the county’s Democratic and Republican central committees say differently.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Opinion: Hotels Have a Constitutional Right Not To House ICE Agents
The Third Amendment prohibits the government from forcing people to “quarter” troops. ICE is essentially a paramilitary force—so why would hotels let them stay?

ICE was stealing equipment from the Islip Long Island fire department and a Islip Forward member documented it. ICE tried to arrest the community member but the firemen said “I don’t think so” www.islipforward.org
Press statement From Islip Forward:

At approximately 9:30 a.m. this morning, federal agents were documented using infrastructure located on the property of the Central Islip Fire Department Station 2, at 110 Wheeler Road-without prior authorization to be on or use that space.

When a volunteer with Islip Forward approached to document the activity, federal agents threatened the volunteer with arrest for alleged trespassing, despite the agents themselves operating in an area where no prior permission had been granted.

Immediately following this interaction, the Central Islip Fire Department took swift action to protect its property and the public. Temporary restrictions were implemented, including closing the gate to the area being used and preventing external access.

The use of municipal fire department property for federal enforcement activity—without authorization-and the subsequent threat directed at a community volunteer raise serious concerns about transparency, overreach, and respect for local institutions.
We are deeply grateful to the volunteer firefighters of the Central Islip Fire Department for their decisive and responsible response.

Defund ICE and Abolish the Agency
Text SIGN PVWHOL to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to oppose any new funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and to support efforts to eliminate the agency entirely. With the January 30 shutdown deadline approaching for fiscal 2026 Department of Homeland Security funding negotiations, this is a critical moment to take a stand. The fatal shooting of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis are the latest examples of what Rep. Darren Soto accurately described as "a culture of violence" within ICE. Recent polling shows a plurality of voters now support eliminating ICE following these tragedies. The agency has demonstrated it cannot be reformed through incremental measures like body cameras and training requirements. Republicans have already provided ICE with $75 billion over the next decade through their party-line tax and spending package enacted over the summer, bypassing the traditional appropriations process. This is in addition to the nearly $11 billion granted in the fiscal year that ended in September. ICE has more than enough resources and has shown it will use them to perpetuate harm against immigrant communities. The argument that Democrats must fund ICE to impose oversight is fundamentally flawed. Providing additional funding legitimizes an agency whose core mission and culture are incompatible with humane immigration policy. The Congressional Progressive Caucus has taken the correct position by opposing new DHS funding unless there are meaningful and significant reforms, but even this does not go far enough. I urge you to vote against any appropriations bill that includes ICE funding and to publicly support eliminating the agency. Immigration enforcement can and should be handled through other mechanisms that prioritize human dignity and community safety. The time for half-measures has passed.
