Men deported from US bound and beaten in Equatorial Guinea detention hotel, lawyers say Group trapped at Hotel Bamy after US removal as rights groups sound alarm over poor conditions and violenceTwo men that the Trump administration expelled to Equatorial Guinea were bound, fitted with bags over their heads, beaten and pushed down a flight of stairs, all in plain view of other US deportees, according to witnesses and human rights lawyers.The men - one from Egypt and one from Eritrea - were then taken to a prison. About 30 detainees from the US remain trapped at a hotel in the outskirts of the coastal city of Malabo after being deported from the US. Detainees have said they believe the men were beaten for telling the press and human rights advocates about the poor conditions and violence inside the hotel, and that they are haunted by flashbacks and terrified they will be retaliated against next.

Newsom signs California election safeguards aimed at Trump administration Newsom signs California election safeguards aimed at Trump administrationAn election worker puts ballots in a counting machine at the Los Angeles County Ballot Processing Center on June 3 in City of Industry. Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed bills to protect California's elections process from interference and increase transparency in campaigns. (Kayla Bartkowski/Los Angeles Times)Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday signed legislation to increase security for the state's voting systems and protect Californians' ability to cast ballots in an effort to guard against potential interference in the Nov. 3 election, including by the Trump administration. Newsom pointed to the Trump administration's recent effort to restrict mail-in voting through the U.S. Postal Service, which was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court, and the presence of federal monitors at California polls last year as evidence that Trump "will continue his efforts to interfere with the November election.""Donald Trump won't stop until he can exert dictatorial control over your free vote and disenfranchise millions of people this November. California will stop him at every opportunity," Newsom said in a statement. "We have no bigger task than fighting to protect the right to vote from interference and meddling - the future of democracy is on the line. These bills today build upon the wall California has built to safeguard our electoral process."The governor signed the package of bills at the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo, where a year earlier federal agents gathered outside a political rally he was hosting. Then-Border Patrol Sector Chief Gregory Bovino, who had been leading the immigration operations in California, was among those outside the event, joined by agents in helmets, camouflage, masks and holding guns. Newsom described their presence as political intimidation. One bill Newsom signed Saturday cites efforts to "weaponize law enforcement authority for political purposes," including Republican "Sheriff Chad Bianco's seizure of ballots in Riverside County," and the election monitors sent by the U.S. Justice Department to polling sites in five counties during a 2025 special election on redistricting.Such moves "have given rise to unprecedented concerns about law enforcement interference" in elections and "[demonstrate] that these threats are not merely hypothetical," the bill by state Sen. Tom Umberg (D-Santa Ana) reads.The law, Senate Bill 884, which takes effect immediately, requires counties to open ballot drop-off locations 30 days before an election - two days earlier than usual - and allows counties to ban electioneering, or trying to influence voters' decisions, within up to 200 feet of polling sites. It also bans police from making arrests near voting locations except for crimes against people, property, or disrupting the voting process.Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta and Secretary of State Shirley Weber, who oversees state elections, praised the bill signings and said they stood ready to defend Californians' right to vote."No one should doubt the degree of our resolve in protecting our democracy," Weber said. "This legislative package ensures that California voters will not be silenced or intimidated." Bianco, a GOP candidate for governor who placed fourth in the primary, drew swift condemnation and legal challenges this spring after he ordered deputies to seize more than 650,000 ballots from the Riverside County elections office. Voting rights groups and Bonta challenged the move, which is being decided by the California Supreme Court. Bianco carted off truckloads of ballots from the Riverside County Registrar of Voters in February after securing a warrant based on claims that the office allowed fraudulent votes in the special election to redraw California's congressional districts under Proposition 50 in 2025. Earlier this year, Newsom signed a bill preventing local and federal law enforcement agencies from taking ballots without a warrant.On Saturday the Democratic governor signed a bill making it a felony to seize or order the seizure of ballots, election records or voting machines. Future seizures could be punishable by up to four years in prison."The federal administration and those seeking to spread lies about our democracy continue to call for interference in elections in ways we have never seen before in this country," Assemblymember Gail Pellerin (D-Santa Cruz), the bill's author and a former longtime county elections chief, said last month. "AB 282 helps ensure that every lawfully cast vote can be counted, and that the will of the voters of every political party will be respected."Republican lawmakers argued in previous hearings that the bill is unnecessary because it is already a crime to steal ballots.Another bill, Senate Bill 259, makes it a crime to interfere with a mail ballot on the way to or from a voter or order the seizure of ballots that are in transit to a local elections office.Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1664, which requires elections officials to notify the attorney general and secretary of state immediately upon learning of any warrants, subpoenas or law enforcement investigations involving election records or voting equipment.Newsom also signed bills to boost protections under the California Voting Rights Act, including an explicit ban on voter suppression and expanded access to election materials in languages other than English.The governor also signed legislation to require more transparency from social media influencers who are paid by political campaigns. The measure, Assembly Bill 1130, came in the wake of a controversy in the June primary election when social media influencers took on a more visible role in the campaigns. Candidates including Democratic billionaire Tom Steyer paid thousands of dollars to influencers who posted videos endorsing Steyer or talking about him in a positive light. These videos did not always disclose that influencers were paid by a candidate's campaign. Sign up for Essential California for news, features and recommendations from the L.A.

Trump's media ban reportedly caught many inside his own White House off guard Trump's media ban reportedly caught many inside his own White House off guardDonald Trump reupped his battle with the "FAKE NEWS" media on Truth Social Friday, banning CNN, MSNOW and POLITICO for reporting "LIES when they're covering the President of the United States," with "Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow."POLITICO called sources in and around the administration to find out why - after months of low approval ratings for the president and his signature issues - now?Here's what POLITICO learned.Many senior staff were surprised by the directive, which happened while chief of staff Susie Wiles was out of town, and weren't aware it was coming until they saw the post, according to three people close to the White House with knowledge of conversations in the West Wing.One person said Trump previously tried to ban certain media, at one point even trying to put the press in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, but was talked down.On Friday the press shop was blindsided and unsure of how to respond, with one aide simply pointing back to Trump's Truth Social post.Even so, they're taking it seriously."It's real and permanent as far as POTUS is concerned," the person said.This morning, MS NOW said their journalists "were denied access to the White House grounds" in a statement."MS NOW intends to take any and all steps necessary to defend our First Amendment rights and the essential role of independent journalism in our democracy," the statement continued.CNN said its reporters were also denied entry. "CNN's mission to report on the U.S. government will continue regardless of any attempts to restrict physical access to the White House and other government buildings, or any other attempts to impede our journalism," the outlet said in a statement.Over a dozen current and former Trump White House White House officials POLITICO called, texted and Signaled - granted anonymity to discuss internal deliberations - were also puzzled by the development. Other key White House officials reached out to us unsolicited to say it was a head scratcher.Trump spoke with reporters in the Oval Office Friday shortly after the post at a pre-scheduled event on healthcare. He took questions, but didn't offer much beyond decrying the "fake news," adding that "cumulative stories" prompted the move.Perhaps the incident will be filed away as one of Trump's seemingly spontaneous eruptions that staff struggle to explain, from his fascination with genetics to his hatred for windmills.But perhaps not. A second person close to the White House said there's already been discussions about adding more outlets to the ban. Trump himself on Friday cited The New York Times and The Washington Post as possible additions.Friday's Truthsilade already feels different than in February 2025, when the Trump administration canceled subscriptions to the POLITICO Pro policy news services after falsely claiming the Biden administration subsidized publication. (He revived that thoroughly debunked claim Friday.) At the time White House aides doubled down on Trump's claims with prepared talking points.This time sources inside the White House were still trying to make sense of what happened.For now, there's one last bite of telling Washington intel: CNN is scheduled for TV pool duty on Monday, and the White House hasn't reached out to the other four network chiefs to change the rotation.This article originally appeared on Politico at https://www.politico.com/news/2026/09/19/inside-the-white-house-media-ban-01085126
New poll puts James Talarico 6 points ahead of Ken Paxton in Texas Senate race New poll puts James Talarico 6 points ahead of Ken Paxton in Texas Senate raceA new Texas Pulse poll shows the Democrat widening his lead over the Republican in the Texas Senate race, with Election Day more than a month away.Published Sept. 17, the ReconMR/Texas Pulse poll showed that Democrat James Talarico's lead has grown to 6 points - outside the poll's margin of error - over Republican Ken Paxton, 49%-43%."This movement can also be seen by looking at independent voters who now favor Talarico by 40 points, 64-24%, up from 23 points, 53-30% in July," ReconMR Senior Research Analyst Lindsey Hendren said.Here's a deeper look at the poll and how it compares to other September polls.
James Talarico widens lead over Ken Paxton in Texas Senate race
The latest Texas Pulse poll was conducted Sept. 8 to 11 among 614 likely Texas voters and has an overall margin of error of 4.3 percentage points.The poll found that Paxton has a negative favorability rating - 38%-55% - down slightly from 40-52% in July. Talarico has a positive favorability rating of 50-39%, up from 46-39% in July. When asked who they think will win the election, 48% of voters say Talarico while 45% say Paxton.The poll also found another shift: a quarter of voters didn't have an opinion about Talarico in June - now it's just 10%."Paxton's Senate bid is being undermined by defections from within his own party," Hendren said. "While nearly all Democrats say they are supporting Talarico, just under 9 in 10 Republicans say they are supporting Paxton."
What previous Texas Senate polling showed
This is the latest poll in September as the election cycle enters its final stretch to Election Day on Nov. 3.Here's what September polls have shown so far:

Denmark and Greenland push back on Trump's 'permanent control' claim Denmark and Greenland push back on Trump's 'permanent control' claimBy Stine Jacobsen, Jacob Gronholt-Pedersen and Tom Little COPENHAGEN, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Denmark and Greenland on Saturday said any agreement with the United States would not compromise Greenland's sovereignty, after President Donald Trump said the deal would give Washington "permanent control" over the Arctic island's security, leaving its precise scope unclear. The United States, Denmark and Greenland said late on Friday they had reached an agreement for the US to develop a significant military presence on Greenland, while prohibiting US adversaries from building their own bases on the island. Key details of the agreement have not been made public, including the scale of US military presence in the self-governing Danish territory and whether any formal power over foreign policy and resources would be ceded to Washington. Denmark and Greenland expressed hope that a deal, which is expected to be signed during the UN General Assembly next week, would end months of uncertainty triggered by Trump's threats to seize control of Greenland. "Next week could be a good week - for Greenland, Denmark, and the United States," Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said in a statement posted on Facebook on Saturday. "A time of uncertainty will hopefully give way to a binding agreement that strengthens security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic, and thereby our shared security within NATO and Europe - while respecting the (Danish) Kingdom's red lines," he said. But some residents in Greenland's capital Nuuk expressed scepticism about closer ties with Washington. "The US should not control Greenland. I think it's better if we have cooperation with NATO," said Jakob Ludvigsen, 65. "Trump should stay far, far, far away from Greenland," Marianne Hansen, a 71-year-old retired chef, told Reuters in Nuuk. "He should not expect our children and grandchildren to become Americans in the future." Denmark and Greenland have repeatedly insisted that Washington respect the sovereignty of the Danish kingdom and accept that Greenland is not for sale. TRUMP'S VISION FOR GREENLAND DEAL Trump said on Truth Social on Friday that under a deal, "the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America." The deal "gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland," Trump said, adding that no adversary would ever be permitted to have a base or military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments there, without Washington's express written approval. Trump made the announcement after Reuters exclusively reported that the US and Denmark were closing in on a deal. "This is probably not the end of President Trump's ambitions for Greenland and certainly not the end of US strategic interest in the territory and its resources," said Mikkel Vedby Rasmussen, a political science professor at the University of Copenhagen. If Copenhagen cedes any formal authority to Washington, it raises the question in Greenland of whether "this is the beginning of replacing the colonial relationship with Denmark with a colonial relationship to the United States," he said. Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said in a Facebook post on Saturday that the proposed deal "recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our Kingdom and the right of the Greenlandic people to self-determination." Trump's threats, which peaked in January, triggered a diplomatic crisis that strained relations within NATO and pushed Denmark and Greenland into negotiations aimed at defusing the pressure. A NATO spokesperson on Saturday said the alliance welcomed the agreement, which would "help advance security, stability and cooperation in this vital region."

Ed Sheeran will take the stage Saturday night at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field for the first show of his Loop Tour since Macklemore was dropped, likely performing solo after all of his remaining opening acts and his backing band quit in solidarity with the rapper over his removal from the tour for pro-Palestinian comments.
Hours after Sheeran released a statement saying it was the promoter's decision to remove Macklemore from the tour and not his, the rest of his supporting acts - Irish singer Aaron Rowe, Danish pop band Lukas Graham and songwriter Finneas - as well as Sheeran's house band, Beoga, announced that they were pulling out in protest.
"Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed," Finneas, the brother of Billie Eilish, wrote in a note posted to Instagram. "I have decided to withdraw from my upcoming tour dates with Ed Sheeran. I stand with Palestine and its people."
The Irish artists cited their country's history of oppression in their decisions to drop out.
"I don't take the decision lightly. Ed has been a friend to me and has changed my life, I could never thank him enough for this," Rowe wrote in his own Instagram post. "But as Irish people we know all too well about genocide, forced famine and violent occupation. I cannot stand by and allow billionaires to use their position of power to silence the rightful voices of those who speak up against Israeli genocide and who highlight the savage murder of children."
"We are Irish people who understand colonialism," Beoga said in a statement on Instagram. "As founding members of the Irish Artists for Palestine movement, we are committed activists for justice and will continue to be." Finneas O'Connell attends the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Feb. 1.

Finneas was scheduled to be the supporting act for stops in Chile, Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil.
Rowe and Lukas Graham had been due to open for Sheeran on his remaining 11 North American tour dates.
Sheeran is scheduled to take the stage Saturday night at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, marking the first Loop Tour show since Macklemore's removal. The concert was pushed back from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET after the openers dropped out, according to Ticketmaster. Music industry sources told TMZ that Sheeran is prepared to perform solo, without his backing band. He has not commented publicly since Tuesday.
What to expect Saturday
A coalition of pro-Palestinian groups plans to rally outside Lincoln Financial Field at 4:30 p.m. Saturday. Speakers will include representatives from Writers Against the War on Gaza, the Boycott Cooknsolo Coalition and Shut Down Day & Zimmermann, according to a statement.
Philadelphia Police Department spokesperson Tanya Little said in a statement that the department "is working closely with venue and event organizers to help ensure the safety of concert attendees, employees, and neighborhood residents."
Resale prices for Saturday's show have fallen sharply. TickPick data cited by Forbes showed the cheapest ticket at $51 on Friday morning, down from $100 on Tuesday. By Friday afternoon, StubHub listings had dropped to as low as $42.
Remaining dates of Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour
Sept. 19: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia
Sept. 25-26: Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Mass.
Oct. 3: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta
Oct. 10: Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis

Dec. 11: Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, Mexico City
None of the U.S. shows are sold out.
It's unclear whether ticket holders can exchange their tickets or get a refund following the lineup changes.
According to Ticketmaster, event organizers determine refund policies, and they are "only allowed in limited circumstances."
Ticketmaster's standard purchase policy states: "Opening Acts are subject to change or cancellation at any time without notice. No refund will be given due to a change in or cancellation of a Participant or Opening Act."
And according to Sheeran's website, all sales are final: "If you change your mind about your ticket purchase, you are not entitled to a refund or exchange on your ticket purchase."
The Philadelphia news site Billy Penn reported that some ticket holders said Lincoln Financial Field has begun issuing refunds due to the lineup change.
How we got here
Macklemore performs in Dublin in 2025.

Earlier this month, Macklemore performed as Sheeran's opening act at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where he made pro-Palestinian comments and performed his protest song "Hind's Hall."
The song was written after protests in support of Palestine occurred on college campuses across the U.S. in 2024, and is named after Hind Rajab, a 5-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed by Israeli troops in Gaza. Last month, Israel's military acknowledged that its troops had opened fire on the car carrying Hind and her family and said it had opened a criminal investigation into the killing.
"A big part of the reason why I wanted to do this tour in the first place is so I could stand up in stadiums like this and say two words that are very near and dear to my heart: 'Free Palestine,'" Macklemore said onstage at MetLife Stadium.
"To all of my Jewish brothers and sisters, criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide, it in no way is criticism of you," the rapper added.
His comments drew criticism from pop singer Pink and pro-Israel groups, including the Israeli-American Council, which started a petition to have the Grammy-winning artist dropped from the tour.

Robert Kraft, owner of the NFL's New England Patriots, said in a statement on Monday that Macklemore wouldn't be welcome at Gillette Stadium for the tour's scheduled performances at the end of September.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons owners also decided not to host the tour if Macklemore remained on the bill, and that Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie was reaching the same conclusion before the rapper was dropped.
According to Macklemore, Kraft - who in 2024 withdrew funding for Columbia University over its handling of protests against Israel's war in Gaza - had "rallied some of the other stadium owners" to give Sheeran "an ultimatum: If Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play."
In his statement, Sheeran said that he had spoken with Kraft and the other venues "to try and build a bridge," but that their "decision was final."
"After Macklemore's performances at my New Jersey shows, venues on my upcoming tour dates communicated that they would pull the shows if he was still supporting," he said on Instagram Tuesday. "Macklemore coming off tour was the promoter's decision, it was not mine."
The promoter, Messina Touring Group, said in a statement to Rolling Stone that it had been notified by venues on Sheeran's upcoming U.S. tour that they would "not allow a concert to take place with Macklemore on the lineup, which would result in the cancellation of the tour and impact hundreds of thousands of fans."
The company said that "after discussions with stakeholders," it decided to remove Macklemore.
Representatives for the Messina Touring Group did not immediately return a request for comment.
In his Instagram post, Sheeran also insisted that "I do not use my professional platform for politics."
"My audience includes young people, often children, of all backgrounds," he said.
"Those who come to my shows do not expect a political forum."
On Wednesday, Macklemore pledged to donate $1 million from the net earnings he received from Sheeran's tour to organizations that support Palestinians. The rapper then called on Kraft to match his donation.
Within hours, Kraft issued his own statement, saying, "I have dedicated much of my life to building bridges between all people. I believe deeply that all lives are worth protecting. Earlier today, before Macklemore challenged me to match his donation, Ed called me and asked me to commit $2 million to match his donation to aid in the region to fight this humanitarian crisis."
Kraft added: "I'd like the people who are speaking in support of the Palestinian people to know that for decades, I have supported efforts that create opportunity for Palestinians and have brought young Palestinians and Israelis together to build businesses, create jobs, and forge relationships."
Kraft's $2 million and Sheeran's matching contribution will go to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, Heal Palestine, the Gaza Soup Kitchen, Medical Aid for Palestinians, the U.N. Relief and Works Agency and Anera, according to the Associated Press.This article originally appeared on Yahoo News at https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/article/every-act-on-ed-sheerans-tour-has-quit-his-next-show-is-tomorrow-174613425.html
