New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) on Monday said she was denied access to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Newark amid protests outside the facility and a hunger strike within its walls.

The governor said being denied access to Delaney Hall, the detention center, raised “serious questions about what they are trying to hide from public view.”

“I have long opposed private detention facilities and will continue to advocate for the closure of Delaney Hall and against any expansion of mass detention facilities in New Jersey, like the proposed facility in Roxbury,” Sherrill said in a statement obtained by NewsNation, The Hill’s sister network. “I came today to hear from families and advocates, and what I heard from them was heartbreaking.”

A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told The Hill that Sherrill’s visit to Delaney Hall was “nothing more than a political stunt on Memorial Day when visitation is currently suspended due to riots outside in the facility.”

Politicians must be held accountable if their lies damage democracy, according to a former US federal prosecutor and FBI general counsel who was pursued by Donald Trump.

The US must be “as creative as possible” and introduce sweeping structural reforms if it escapes its current “mess”, said Andrew Weissmann, laying out a proposal for a legislative crackdown on election deceit.

“Lying can be held to account,” argued Weissmann, a senior figure in former FBI director Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, and Trump’s links to Moscow.

The former federal prosecutor remains a prominent voice against Trump and his assault on US institutions and justice, as a professor and analyst for liberal cable network MS Now.

The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has sent subpoenas to leftist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker and CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin over their March trip to Cuba, according to Fox News.

“the american govt would rather try to criminalize delivering aid to a country we’ve starved, than punish the epstein class,” Piker wrote Saturday on X in response to the report.

Piker said Sunday on his Instagram story that he hasn’t received a subpoena and on his live Twitch stream Sunday, he said before his trip to Cuba, he cleared it with the Office of Foreign Assets Control, the office that Fox News reported issued the subpoenas. Piker called the alleged subpoenas an “intimidation tactic” from the American government.

Benjamin also said in a statement to HuffPost that she hasn’t been served a subpoena, though “perhaps” one is on its way. The co-founder of the feminist anti-war organization said she traveled to Cuba under the authorized category of providing aid to Cubans and she stayed in a hotel allowed under U.S. regulations.

A former Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologist who was fired in September over sharing a post from another account that referenced slain conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk was awarded a $485,000 settlement from the state on Thursday.

“All I wanted was my job back. I see no leaders amongst FWC ‘leadership,’ but that’s to be expected when a state agency becomes the governor’s personal puppet show,” biologist Brittney Brown wrote in a statement shared by the ACLU of Florida.

Brown was fired over sharing a post that originally came from a comedic whale-themed account, which she shared on her private Instagram account on Sept. 10, 2026, according to a lawsuit filed by the ACLU’s Florida affiliate.

“The whales are deeply saddened to learn of the shooting of charlie kirk, haha just kidding, they care exactly as much as charlie kirk cared about children being shot in their classrooms, which is to say, not at all,” the post read.
