New York voters want state to support Trump deportations, poll finds
Most voters in New York want the state to support President-elect Trump’s mass deportation plans, according to a new poll released Tuesday.
The Siena College New York State Poll found that 54% of respondents say the state should support any Trump administration efforts to deport migrants living illegally in the state, compared to 35% of respondents who oppose the plans.
Strong support for the president-elect’s deportation plan was found throughout the state, including New York City.
“A majority of voters from the City, 51%, upstate, 54%, and the downstate suburbs, 58%, want the State to support the Feds’ efforts,” Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg said of Trump’s effort to deport illegal immigrants living in the state. “Supporting the Feds also has majority support from white and Black voters, and a plurality of Latino voters, 47-36%.”

The poll found that 51% of Democrats in the state opposed deportations, while 38% supported any such plans. Meanwhile, 87% of Republicans overwhelmingly supported Trump’s plans, compared with 8% who opposed. Independent voters broke down with 54% in support and 30% who opposed.,
The New York Post earlier last month obtained data from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that showed 58,626 of the 759,218 illegal immigrants living in New York City had previously been convicted of a crime or had criminal charges pending, or 7.7% of the city’s illegal migrant population.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security estimates that 11 million illegal immigrants were living in the U.S. as of 2022, the latest statistics available.
TRUMP CLAIMS GOP ‘VERY OPEN’ TO KEEPING ‘DREAMERS’ IN US, TAKES SHOT AT ‘VERY DIFFICULT’ DEMS
Trump has promised to launch a mass deportation campaign when he enters office in January, where he will also have a Republican House and Senate.
Ahead of that, some Democrats have been calling on President Biden to extend existing protections for some illegal immigrants – including Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients.
Trump, however, said on Sunday that he wants to work with Democrats on a “plan” to help illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. as minors and were protected from deportation under the Obama-era DACA order.

“I will work with the Democrats on a plan, and if we can come up with a plan, but the Democrats have made it very, very difficult to do anything. Republicans are very open to the Dreamers,” Trump said. “The Dreamers, we’re talking many years ago. They were brought into this country many years ago, some of them are no longer young people, and in many cases, they become successful. They have great jobs. In some cases, they have small businesses. In some cases, they might have large businesses, and we’re going to have to do something with them.”

Pittsburgh Pirates open to trading Mitch Keller, Jared Jones, report says
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The Pittsburgh Pirates are open to trading pitchers Mitch Keller and Jared Jones, according a report.
According to KDKA’s news partners at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pirates were open to trading Keller and Jones was deemed “very available” by a league source.
The Post-Gazette reports that trading Keller would help trim payroll. Keller was signed to a five-year, $77 million contract extension and is set to make between $15 million and $20 million in each of the next four seasons.
Post-Gazette sources indicated that trading Keller would ideally get a strong hitter in return.
When it comes to Jones, the Post-Gazette says he would likely bring a much higher return, given his potential, league-minimum contract, and multiple remaining years of club control.
Earlier this week, the team made a trade, acquiring first basemen Spencer Horwitz in a swap for Luis Ortiz and two pitching prospects.
It’s unclear if that trade has any impact on Keller or Jones’ availability that was previously discussed ahead of the deal being finalized.
Connecticut
Day-long storm downs power lines and trees across the state
A storm is on its way out of Connecticut. As of 11 p.m., Eversource showed about 1,700 power outages.
In Haddam, fire crews say a power line came down on a school bus on Maple Avenue West with 13 students and a bus driver inside.
Eversource was called in to remove it, so the students could evacuate and reunite with their parents.
Luckily, fire crews say no one was injured.
Up the street on Turkey Hill Road, there was another downed wire, causing a tree to spark.
Down by the shoreline, people were met with waves and rain.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen the waves be this big before,” Carolynne Kelly, of Old Saybrook, said.
“Not letting it impede my regular routine,” John Moore, of Mystic, said.
“Don’t let it dump on your mood, right?” John Sim, of Noank, said.
Other areas like Putnam and Tolland had trees come down, too.
It’s kept utility crews busy all day and night responding to these outages.
Norwich Public Utilities fixed up a large outage impacting 600 customers earlier in the evening and wrapped up another outage impacting 50 people around 10 p.m.
“If you see a wire that’s come down you have to assume its energized and potentially a lethal hazard. Stay away from a downed wire,” Chris Riley, of Norwich Public Utilities, said. “If you lose power, don’t lose patience. We’re going to do what we can to get the lights back on quickly.”
Utilities encourage people to report their outages, and to not assume someone else already has.
