While historical sources record Sen. Alfonse D’Amato's speech as 23 hours and 30 minutes, the U.S. Senate Historical Office removed him from the list of longest speeches earlier this week. "Turns out D’Amato did not speak for 23 hours straight but had a long break when the Senate recessed in the early hours of the morning," wrote Daniel S. Holt, associate historian at the Senate Historical Office, in an email. Since this would not be known to the general public, we have left the correct answer as D'Amato.

    As the federal government intensifies its immigration crackdown, the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office has emerged as one of the Suncoast’s most active partners with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In recent months, Sheriff Kurt Hoffman’s deputies have patrolled the Everglades immigration jail known as “Alligator Alcatraz” and shuttled immigrants between detention facilities in Florida, earning more than $280,000 in state funding for the work. Meanwhile, the number of ICE detainers — which keep people up to 48 hours past their release date for possible detention and deportation — have quadrupled this past year inside the already crowded county jail.
