Race for Rockland County Executive is on: Parietti on November ballot on 'Good Gov' line
NEW CITY -- Ramapo resident Michael Parietti officially joined the ballot Wednesday as a candidate for Rockland County executive in the Nov. 4 election. The Rockland Board of Elections affirmed that Parietti amassed the minimum 1,500 signatures on petitions to qualify for the ballot on the independent "Good Gov" line. Parietti and his supporters filed more than 3,000 names with the board on May 27. Republican County Executive Ed Day challenged the petitions, but the Board of Elections commissioners sustained the signatures beyond the minimum needed. The commissioners, Democrat Allison Weinraub and Republican Patricia Giblin, informed Parietti by letter on Wednesday. "Upon examination of the specific objection, we hereby rule that the said objection is not sustained and the petition filed by Michael I. Parietti is hereby declared valid," the commissioners wrote. With that notification, Rockland's voters have a choice for county executive. Rockland Democrats did not field a candidate. Parietti said in a statement that more than 3,000 signatures represented broad support across the county. He said that Republican operatives attempted to knock him off the ballot by filing what he called baseless objections to his petitions. Parietti has said that in his numerous past campaigns, he'd never tried to knock a candidate off the ballot, arguing competition is good for the electoral process. 'They hired a high-priced consultant to try and silence voters,' Parietti said. 'But the signatures stood, and democracy won. Now voters can decide between entrenched political interests or new ideas and real accountability for the future of our county.' Day, a Republican seeking his fourth, four-year term as county executive, could not be immediately reached for comment on Wednesday. Day has said he's running on his record. His bread-and-butter issues have been keeping down county property taxes and maintaining services. Day took office in January 2014 with the county facing a deficit of $138 million. The county's 2024 budget paid off a $96 million bond to help cover the deficit. For 2025, the county government has accumulated a fund balance topping $300 million. Day has promoted decreases in county taxes in the last two fiscal years, including a 2% cut in the $876 million budget for 2025. He rose from a New City civic association president to county legislator before winning election as county executive in November 2013. He won his last two elections by comfortable margins. Day started the 2025 election season with no challengers before Parietti filed, as Rockland Democrats could not field a candidate. One registered Democrat, Ernest Morales, a retired police officer, made noise about seeking the party's nomination. But he and his supporters could not muster the required number of signatures to get on the ballot. Steve Lieberman covers government, breaking news, courts, police, and investigations.

Owner of raided Omaha plant says he followed hiring rules
The owner of an Omaha food packaging plant that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raided this week said Wednesday that his company relied on the government's web system to verify that his workers were in the country legally. 'We did everything we could possibly do,' Glenn Valley Foods owner Gary Rohwer told The Associated Press. Federal officials arrived at the Nebraska factory on Tuesday to screen nearly 100 people. About 70 employees were taken into custody, as part of President Trump's sweeping immigration crackdown and mass deportation initiative. Glenn Valley Foods is operating at about 30 percent capacity after the raid as the company tries to hire more workers, Rohwer told the AP. Company officials have blamed the federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS)'s nationwide E-Verify system, which relies on documents and social security numbers to determine whether potential employees can work in the U.S. legally. 'I'd like to see the United States government … come up with a program that they can communicate to the companies as to how to hire legitimate help. Period,' Rohwer said. The owner explained that federal officials said his company was a victim of unauthorized workers using stolen identities or fake IDs to get around the E-Verify system. Omaha Mayor John Ewing Jr., a Democrat who was sworn into office earlier this week, told NewsNation on Wednesday that he didn't know why the Nebraska city was targeted for the large-scale immigration sweep. 'Right now, what is happening across the country is a lot of fear is being created,' Ewing said. 'We don't have an understandable approach to immigration, especially when it comes to our Latino members of this country.' He called on Congress to develop a 'comprehensive immigration policy.'

LA-area mayors plead with Trump admin to stop ICE immigration arrests
A group of mayors from across the Los Angeles region joined together Wednesday to demand the Trump administration stop federal immigration raids that they say have spread fear throughout their communities. More than 30 mayors from the region stood with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass at a news conference denouncing the deployment of National Guard troops and Marines to the city. Bass accused the White House of "provoking" the protests and riots, suggesting Los Angeles "was part of an experiment to determine how far the federal government can go in reaching in and taking over power from a governor, power from a local jurisdiction, and frankly leaving our city, and our citizens, our residents in fear." President Donald Trump, however, posted Thursday morning on the Truth Social platform that Los Angeles "would be a crime scene like we haven't seen in years" if he had not sent in the military. "Los Angeles was safe and sound for the last two nights," Trump wrote. "Our great National Guard, with a little help from the Marines, put the L.A. Police in a position to effectively do their job. They all worked well together, but without the Military, Los Angeles would be a crime scene like we haven't seen in years." Trump again blasted Gov. Gavin Newsom, saying the Democrat "had totally lost control of the situation." Huntington Park Mayor Arturo Flores, a Marine Corps veteran, said during the news conference that the militarization of immigration enforcement has "no place in our neighborhoods" and further called the deployment of Marines on U.S. soil an "alarming escalation." "As mayors across this region, we stand united in rejecting fear-based tactics that target immigrant communities and erode public trust," he said. Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman told The Associated Press that some 2,000 National Guard soldiers are in Los Angeles and will soon be joined by 2,000 more, along with about 700 Marines. "We are expecting a ramp-up," Sherman said, noting that protests across the nation were being discussed. "I'm focused right here in LA, what's going on right here. But you know, I think we're, we're very concerned." Meanwhile, Downtown Los Angeles remains under a curfew. Los Angeles police have made nearly 400 arrests and detentions since Saturday, the vast majority of which were for failing to disperse, according to the police department. A handful of more serious charges have included assault against police officers, possession of a Molotov cocktail and possession of a gun. Nine police officers have been hurt, mostly with minor injuries.
