On April 14, 2025, Juan Francisco Méndez, a Guatemalan immigrant seeking asylum, was detained by ICE agents in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in a dramatic arrest captured on video.

The GOP now has a majority on New Bedford's election board after a Democrat commissioner switched parties. "Republicans make up only 6% of active New Bedford voters," columnist Jack Spillane writes, "but somehow they have quietly gained the majority of seats on the four-person New Bedford Election Commission." Democratic Mayor Jon Mitchell says he doesn’t think the situation is a problem, but the Democratic City Committee was so concerned that last week it voted to write both the mayor and the c
