NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Several New York City voters, who spoke to Fox News Digital at a Sunday rally, said New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are the future of the Democratic Party.
Thousands of voters gathered at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens on Sunday for the «New York is Not for Sale» rally in support of Mamdani, the 34-year-old self-identified democratic socialist and frontrunner in the race for Gracie Mansion. Flanked by Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., the trio of democratic socialists rallied the large crowd on the first weekend of early voting in the city.
«There’s going to be no party unless they are the future,» Nuala O’Doherty-Naranjo, an immigration lawyer who lives in Ocasio-Cortez’s district in Jackson Heights, Queens, told Fox News Digital.
When asked if she identifies as a democratic socialist, like Mamdani, Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders, O’Doherty-Naranjo said, «DSA all the way.»

Mamdani is a member of New York City’s chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA has endorsed his candidacy and some of its members delivered remarks during the star-studded rally on Sunday.

Hallie, who lives in Bushwick, Brooklyn, said she supports Mamdani for the «obvious reasons,» including representing «every New Yorker» with his commitment to affordability and safety.
She said that Mamdani and Ocasio-Cortez are «absolutely» the future of the Democratic Party and that his candidacy gives her hope.
«I feel like that’s very clear with the turnout for this election, for the primaries, and just like seeing the people that are here filling a stadium just to support him, I think that’s a big indication of the future,» Hallie said.
More than 10,000 supporters packed into Forest Hills Stadium on Sunday, according to the Mamdani campaign.

«To me, socialism just means that there’s more advocacy and more attention being paid to the working class, the people who are actually uplifting society and working to make it what it is,» Hallie said, explaining that, to her, socialism is about everyone paying their fair share.
«I speak the language of democratic socialism only because he spoke it first,» Mamdani said of Sanders as the crowd joined him in declaring, «New York is not for sale» on Sunday.
The trio has invigorated the Democratic Party’s progressive base at a time when Democrats are still grappling with devastating losses in 2024 as growing discontent with President Donald Trump’s sweeping, second-term agenda.
A slew of state and local leaders also joined the rally, including Gov. Kathy Hochul, D-N.Y., who endorsed Mamdani last month and has since campaigned for him.

Hochul was heckled by attendees several times during her remarks, who chanted, «Tax the rich!»
Mamdani’s plan to raise taxes on corporations and the top 1% of New Yorkers to pay for his campaign promises, like free childcare, free buses and city-run grocery stores, would require Hochul’s approval, and the governor has ruled out raising taxes.
«I hear ya,» Hochul responded as the stadium erupted with pleas to «tax the rich!»
«I love everything Zoran is bringing to the table as far as giving a new sort of energy and enthusiasm to New York City politics, actually caring about the citizens of New York City, finding life to be affordable and enjoyable and healthy for all of us. I don’t see how anybody couldn’t get behind that,» Matt Ransdell, who lives in Manhattan’s Washington Heights, told Fox News Digital.
Ransdell said Mamdani and Ocasio-Cortez «could be» the future of the Democratic Party, adding that the democratic socialist movement of Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez and Mamdani is «so fresh and encouraging.»
«There’s something incredibly communal about it,» Ransdell said. «The way I feel actually bonded, even here at this rally, it’s insane. The energy is infectious,» he said.

«The voice of the younger generation is speaking as loud as it can, and if the older generation isn’t willing to listen, we’re going to have a problem,» Randsell added.
Lane, another New Yorker who attended Sunday’s rally, said he hopes they are the future.
«Look, not everyone’s going to support him,» Lane said. «He’s got maybe a brand that’s a little bit further ahead of what some people’s tastes are, but I certainly support him. I certainly hope that that’s the direction that the party goes in.»
Lane said he «absolutely» identifies as a democratic socialist, «maybe even further if that’s possible.»
Jessica, who lives in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and works for Voters of Tomorrow, a Gen Z-led progressive political action group, said Mamdani’s campaign has «energized a lot of young people,» inspiring them to get out and vote.
She said Mamdani and Ocasio-Cortez «both understand the affordability crisis that young people face right now and are both actually proposing policies to fight that and make young adults’ lives better.»
«Young people are the future of the Democratic Party,» Jessica said. «I think it’s young voters who are canvassing, getting out there, making their voices heard, that’s who’s shaping it,» she said.

FBI subpoenas 2020 Arizona voting docs as federal push into election administration widens
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
An Arizona state lawmaker revealed Monday that federal authorities subpoenaed him for records related to the 2020 election, marking the second publicly confirmed jurisdiction the Department of Justice is investigating over the matter.
Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen, a Republican, said in a social media post he received the subpoena for material related to the state Senate’s 2020 audit last week and complied with it.
«Late last week I received and complied with a federal grand jury subpoena for records relating to the Arizona State Senate’s 2020 audit of Maricopa County,» Petersen wrote. «The FBI has the records. Any other report is fake news.»
The request represents an expansion of a federal probe tied to 2020 after the DOJ initially targeted Fulton County, Georgia. The development also comes as President Donald Trump has grown increasingly outspoken about election security in the lead-up to the 2026 midterms, renewing his attention on disputes stemming from the last presidential race.

Petersen made the revelation after President Donald Trump shared a Just the News report about the subpoena on Truth Social, writing, «Great!!! FBI secretly seizes election records from Arizona’s largest county as voting probe expands.»
Multiple U.S. officials confirmed the election probe to Fox News, saying the DOJ is looking at a large tranche of Arizona data from 2020 and 2024.

The White House directed Fox News Digital to the FBI on Monday when asked for comment. The FBI declined to comment.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, an elected Democrat, said the new investigation was based on claims that courts and state investigators have proven wrong.
«What the Trump administration appears to be pursuing now is not a legitimate law enforcement inquiry,» Mayes said in a statement. «It is the weaponization of federal law enforcement in service of crackpots and lies.»

The subpoena comes as the president increasingly focuses on election security ahead of the 2026 midterms, telling Congress in a social media post on Sunday that he will not sign any legislation into law until it passes the SAVE America Act.
The bill’s primary purpose is to require voters nationwide to show physical identification to prove citizenship to vote in federal elections. The version of the bill Trump is pushing would also ban mail-in ballots except for the military and in other extenuating circumstances.

Maricopa, Arizona’s most populous county, was a hotbed for accusations of voter fraud in 2020. Fulton County, Georgia, faced similar accusations, with the DOJ launching a separate investigation into the 2020 election earlier this year.
Trump lost Arizona in 2020 by about 0.3 percentage points. The president refused to concede, and his legal team brought a series of lawsuits alleging vote-counting irregularities, but none were successful.

Biden-appointed judge in the hot seat after DHS fires back at ‘false’ claims about ICE facility
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Department of Homeland Security on Monday blasted a federal judge’s order requiring it to immediately improve conditions at its ICE processing facility in Baltimore — including reducing the number of detainees held there at one time, and improving access to food, hygiene, and medical care — telling Fox News Digital that the court’s determination of any «subprime» conditions or overcrowding are «false.»
«Illegal aliens in custody are provided food, water, blankets, and hygiene products,» a spokesperson for DHS said Monday, alleging that ICE «has higher detention standards than most U.S. prisons that hold actual U.S. citizens,» including access to «comprehensive» medical care.
The characterization comes hours after a federal judge in Maryland issued a preliminary injunction Monday ordering ICE to either drastically improve conditions at its Baltimore processing center or find a new facility to «humanely» and legally hold the migrants before transferring them to a longer-term detention center.

U.S. District Judge Julie Rubin, a Biden appointee, sided with plaintiffs Monday in ruling that Baltimore’s holding center conditions are «unhygienic, unsanitary,» and ultimately, unconstitutional.
Rubin used a 67-page preliminary injunction to carefully tick through a long list of egregious conditions alleged by lawyers for plaintiffs over the last 10 months, including allegations of squalid, unsanitary holding, severe overcrowding, and a lack of medical screening, access to medical care, and necessary treatment — which the judge noted could lead to liability issues, or «in the worst-case scenario, fatalities.»
«The debated issue here is not defendants’ legitimate governmental interest; it is that defendants apparently dispense with even rudimentary decent, humane treatment of civil detainees, and so too their constitutional rights as a result,» Rubin said in the preliminary injunction, which applies to all current and future detainees at the holding facility operated by Baltimore’s ICE Field Office.
She sided with plaintiffs in ruling that the conditions in Baltimore are «unlawfully punitive» and reflect a «deliberate indifference to the health, safety, and medical needs» on behalf of the government, in violation of the Fifth Amendment and due process protections granted under the U.S. Constitution.
Rubin also rejected the notion that ICE detainees and illegal immigrants are not entitled to due process, citing the Supreme Court precedent under Zadvydas v. Davis, which holds that such protections apply to «all ‘persons’» within the U.S. «including [noncitizens], whether their presence here is lawful, unlawful, temporary, or permanent.»
A DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital that migrants detained at the ICE holding center in Baltimore are granted «comprehensive» health care, including «medical, dental, and mental health services as available, and access to medical appointments and 24-hour emergency care,» and rejected claims made by plaintiffs and the judge.
«This is the best healthcare tha[t] many aliens have received in their entire lives,» the spokesperson added.
Rubin, in the court order, does not appear to back that contention.

«This is not a case of a prisoner lacking access to a clean toilet for a period of days, nor is it a case where a pretrial detainee cannot shower and is not provided with hygiene items …» Rubin said in the preliminary injunction, which comes after one year of status hearings, amended complaints, and declarations provided to the court from Trump administration officials and others.
«Rather, the conditions here are compounded: civilly detained people are stuffed into unclean cells by the dozens, without basic hygiene essentials, while exposed to a virtually open unclean toilet (and those detained making use of same),» Rubin said.
«These conditions woefully fail to comport with ‘contemporary standards of decency,» she continued.
DHS also rejected claims of inadequate medical care, including complaints from plaintiffs’ lawyers and cited by the court in which individuals with serious medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, HIV, leukemia, and broken bones were denied medications or medical attention.
Government records cited by the judge show that between February and September 2025, just eight out of 3,250 detainees held at the Baltimore ICE facility had been transported to a hospital for medical needs.
Rubin is not the first federal judge to order U.S. immigration officials to immediately improve conditions at ICE processing centers or «holding» centers across the country during Trump’s second presidential term.

In August, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan issued an emergency order requiring ICE to swiftly address allegations of filthy, overcrowded cells and prolonged stays at an ICE processing facility in New York City. The following month, he slapped ICE with a more lasting preliminary injunction seeking to codify those changes.
And in Minnesota, a federal judge last month issued a temporary restraining order requiring ICE to grant detainees at its Whipple Federal Building holding center access to counsel, attorney-client visits, and a 72-hour notice period before transferring detainees out of the state.
The administration has not yet indicated whether it will appeal the judge’s ruling. Still, DHS officials sharply rejected the allegations of improper treatment, telling Fox News Digital that being in detention «is a choice.»

«We encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure with the CBP Home App,» they said, noting that the U.S. «is offering illegal aliens $2,600 and a free flight to self-deport,» as former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem noted during congressional testimony last week.
«If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return,» they added.
