A top ICE official steps down to run for Congress in Ohio
A top-ranking U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official
is leaving the agency
to run for Congress as a Republican in Ohio,
setting up a potential battleground district test of voter attitudes about the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
#Madison #Sheahan, 28, is stepping down from her role as ICE’s deputy director
to challenge longtime Democratic Rep. #Marcy #Kaptur and represent Ohio’s 9th District.
In a video announcing her candidacy Thursday, Sheahan described herself as
a “Trump conservative”
and touted her record recruiting thousands of new agents
and deporting “over 2.5 million illegal aliens.”
The video features images of Sheahan in her role during various ICE operations,
including her wearing tactical gear and speaking at a lectern.
“When the call came to help President Trump clean up the dangerous immigration mess, as deputy director of ICE, I answered the call,” she narrates in the video.
Her candidacy comes as some federal immigration officers have been documented using aggressive tactics,
and amid an intensifying national debate over Trump’s mass deportation effort.
Recent polling has shown that many Americans say they disapprove of ICE’s actions.
This month, a Quinnipiac University survey found that
57 percent of voters disapprove of the way ICE is enforcing immigration laws,
and an Economist-YouGov poll found that 47 percent of U.S. citizens said ICE was making Americans less safe,
compared with 34 percent who said the agency was making Americans more safe.
In Minneapolis, tensions between protesters and immigration enforcement officers have grown since Jan. 7,
when an ICE officer fatally shot
37-year-old Renée Good,
and as the Department of Homeland Security has continued to deploy agents to Minnesota.
Sheahan’s entry into the race further crowds the Republican primary,
which is set for May 5.
Several Republicans are targeting the seat
— which the nonpartisan Cook Political Report With Amy Walter has as a general-election toss-up
— including state Rep. Josh Williams
and Derek Merrin, a former state lawmaker who was the GOP nominee and narrowly lost against Kaptur in 2024.

Song Review: Marcy – “Negaigoto”
On January 8, 2025, three-piece Japanese rock band Marcy released “Negaigoto” (which translates to “Make A Wish”). The song is being used as the ending theme for the Winter 2025 anime, Anyway, I’m Falling in Love with You.

New York correctional officers pummeled handcuffed man before death, footage shows
> “We don’t need to watch this footage to know what it reveals: generations of encouraged, calculated cruelty and abuse of power that fester and metastasize behind the blue wall of silence.”
> “For every instance caught on camera, countless more acts of violence and murder in prisons are ignored, justified, or covered up,”

Newly released body camera footage shows that a man fatally beaten in a New York prison this month was repeatedly pummeled by correctional officers while in handcuffs. Robert Brooks was pronounced dead Dec. 10. The 43-year-old was assaulted the day before at the Marcy Correctional Facility in Oneida County. Footage of the encounter was made public by New York State Attorney General Letitia James on Friday. She called the officers' actions “shocking and disturbing.” They show correctional officers punching and kicking Brooks as he lies on a medical examination table, then yanking him up by his neck and dropping him. An attorney for Brooks didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
