BREAKING:
WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrat Eileen Laubacher wins election to U.S. House in Colorado's 4th Congressional District.
This is a Democratic flip. Republican Lauren Boebert has lost.

There are over 3 million people with pending asylum applications who are working legally, paying taxes, and doing everything the U.S. government told them to go through the process the "right way."
But ICE needs to hit arrest quotas, so they're rounding these people up.
Two performers at Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe theme park were detained by ICE in Arizona last weekend, despite work permits and a pending asylum case.
One of their coworkers (and best friend) told me the couple was traveling for a friend’s funeral

I cover Mexico for The New York Times, and there is no such "invasion."
About 1,500 people recently began walking north from the southern tip of Mexico — weeks away from the United States — and very few, if any, will reach the northern border.
Over the past two years, the Mexican government has repeatedly broken up these small caravans within days of them starting. And there have been far fewer of them since Trump took office.
The reality is the number of illegal border crossings remain near historic lows.
