Democrats sue Trump administration over alleged election pressure campaign

A massive chemical leak in Toledo, Ohio, is forcing some people out of their homes while others have been told to shelter in place.

The candidates in Kansas' surprisingly competitive Senate race faced off in a debate Wednesday evening, as Republicans fight to head off the possibility of their first loss in a Kansas Senate contest in nearly a century. Incumbent GOP Sen. Roger Marshall hammered away at what it would mean if he were to lose — that it could help hand control of the Senate to Democrats: "My opponent's going to say anything he can to lie to get into that office and give control to Chuck Schumer."

The Minnesota Democrat said her husband and son were home when federal agents began banging on her house doors at 6 a.m. before they conducted an hourslong search.

A federal judge ruled late Wednesday that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's practice of knocking on doors and asking people about their immigration status — and whether they have voted in recent elections — likely violates the Voting Rights Act. The ruling took aim at an operation that was documented by a CBS News investigation earlier Wednesday. Homeland Security Investigations has posted photos and videos of agents approaching homes in multiple states. The Trump administration says the practice is part of an effort to crack down on voting by noncitizens, but critics say it could intimidate legal voters.
