Democrat Danny Ceisler won the Sheriff in Bucks County and ran against a Republican who partnered with ICE. He said “that does send a message to law enforcement all over the country that partnering with ICE is a losing proposition.”

Getting new details on this now:
As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection.
The arrest reportedly took place in front of children.

The thing is that I agree with the notion that we need a broad coalition! Candidates exactly like Mamdani aren’t necessarily going to clean up everywhere! The thing is that I suspect a lot of the centrists saying that not every candidate can be Mamdani actually want NO candidates to be Mamdani
The GOP and a lot of centrists tbh, I hope some big name Dem electeds and strategists are feeling VERY uneasy right now
