Second to last update of the night for me. This is about as decisive a victory as Mamdani could have. With 97% of the vote in, he leads Cuomo 50% to 42%

A peak behind the Guardian election work. Since the data and graphics team in the US is pretty small (3 people), we gotta be scrappy. We focused on one race - NYC Mayor - and powered our entire reporting rig on ImportHTML and VLOOKUPS

What is a hold room? These are small facilities, meant to hold people for short periods of time while they are processed into ICE detention. Concrete rooms, no beds, no privacy for the bathroom.
Footage from the NYC hold room made the rounds a few months ago:

ICE officials knew that people were being held long past the 12 hour limit, so they issued a memo rescinding the restriction. But even with the rule change, people are being held in these rooms past the _new_ limit

ICE issued a memo in June, increasing max time in hold rooms from 12 hours to 3 days. After the memo, the avg time in detention increased nearly 600% at many hold rooms

Our series is based on data leaked to the Guardian US from GlobalX, the nation's largest deportation flight provider. This data has given us unprecedented insight into how deportations are affecting the more than 200,000 people that the administration has deported in the last 9 months

A significant change under the Trump administration, though, is that number of people in Ice detention with no criminal history has been steadily increasing, and they are now make up the largest group.
This data, from Ice, directly contradicts all of the public messaging from DHS

We're very close to crossing a significant line: People with no criminal history are soon to be the largest group arrested by Ice and booked into detention. This is a significant change from the past, where the government prioritized detaining people with criminal histories.

Why are we doing this? The government is making a lot of claims about what Ice is doing, claims that are often easily disproven by their own data, like this chart showing that Ice is increasingly arresting and detaining people with no criminal history
