They waived a canister of pepper spray in front of them, then attempted to physically move the detainees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Isaac Antonio Lopez Castillo, one of the detainees who sued two detention officers at the Adelanto facility\"]‘I couldn’t take it.

But detention officers would later claim they were inciting a “rebellion” and “assaulting” staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Detention officers then sprayed pepper spray at the men at least three times and forcibly removed them from the tables.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As they visibly recoiled from the spray, some of the detainees were pushed into walls, pulled to the ground or dragged on the floor by guards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afterward, though not seen on camera, five of the detainees were placed in hot showers. Hot water, however, can worsen the painful burning effect from pepper spray, something an internal oversight office at the Department of Homeland Security \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6278922-HQ-Part2-Copy.html#document/p15/a541908\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">noted\u003c/a> in a review of the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I couldn’t take it,” Isaac Antonio Lopez Castillo, one of the detainees, \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6584113-Rivera-Martinez-v-GEO-Group-111-3.html#document/p208/a547304\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">later testified\u003c/a> in a deposition. “I was even throwing up from the pepper gas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All eight detainees were then sent to “segregation” — ICE’s term for solitary confinement — for 10 days for “engaging in or inciting a group demonstration.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR obtained footage of the incident from a federal courthouse in Riverside where the men sued the two detention officers who used pepper spray, as well as the for-profit company that runs the facility, Florida-based GEO Group.

Mitt Romney of Utah becoming the only senator to cross party lines. Trump was cleared of the second charge on a straight party-line vote, 53-47.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Convicting and removing Trump from office would have required 67 votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump campaign immediately issued a statement after the vote, saying the president has been \"totally vindicated.\" \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1225179058000089090?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trump tweeted\u003c/a> that he will make a public statement on Thursday at 12 p.m. ET \"to discuss our Country's VICTORY on the Impeachment Hoax!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump is only the third U.S. president to be impeached by the House of Representatives.

No, it was a flagrant assault on our electoral rights, our national security and our fundamental values,\" he said. \"Corrupting an election to keep oneself in office is perhaps the most abusive and destructive violation of one's oath of office that I can imagine.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Romney was the only Republican to vote \"guilty\" but becomes the first senator to vote to remove a president of his own party from office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/players/FxiuSZYZ-HWSueGzu.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch his remarks\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/4cvae7mP69E'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/4cvae7mP69E'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Romney did vote against the second article of impeachment for obstructing Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked how long Romney would be in the Senate GOP's dog house, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., responded, \"We don't have any dog houses here. The most important vote is the next vote.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell told reporters that impeachment has been \"a political loser\" for Democrats and \"a colossal political mistake.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Romney was the lone Republican to vote against the president, Democrats were united in their opposition. Three red-state Democrats who were considered possible supporters of acquittal — Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Doug Jones of Alabama — all voted guilty on both articles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The action Wednesday closes the chapter on Trump's Senate trial, capping a process that began with an impeachment inquiry in the House of Representatives, led to the president's impeachment and, ultimately, his acquittal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result was never in doubt. Republicans hold a comfortable majority in the chamber, and the Democratic caucus would have needed 20 Republicans to break with their party leadership.

In preparation for the caucuses, our systems were tested by independent cybersecurity consultants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security’s cybersecurity agency said, “At this time, we have no reporting of any malicious cyberactivity.

Closing arguments will be presented Monday, after which senators will be permitted to speak on the floor. A final vote, during which President Trump is expected to be acquitted, is expected next Wednesday around 4 p.m. ET.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, the Senate voted not to call witnesses in the trial. The vote was 51 to 49 against witnesses. Democrats had pleaded for two weeks to hear testimony from, among others, former national security adviser John Bolton. But most Republicans resisted. Just two Republicans — Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah and Susan Collins of Maine — voted with the Democratic caucus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president faces \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/10/786579846/read-articles-of-impeachment-against-president-trump\">two articles of impeachment\u003c/a>: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress related to accusations that he held up military aid to Ukraine until the country announced investigations into potential political rival former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday night's vote result was not a surprise following announcements from key Republican senators that they would not be supporting witnesses. Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee said they do not need to hear testimony, which would have prolonged the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in a statement Friday evening that there was no need for witnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Never in Senate history has this body paused an impeachment trial to pursue additional witnesses with unresolved questions of executive privilege that would require protracted litigation,\" he said. \"We have no interest in establishing such a new precedent, particularly for individuals whom the House expressly chose not to pursue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., pushed back immediately after the vote. He called the decision \"a perfidy. It's a grand tragedy.\" He said that if Trump is finally acquitted now, \"the acquittal will have no value.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"impeachment\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The 'No' Votes\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Democratic House managers' hopes of calling witnesses who could have proved damaging to Trump were dashed even before a vote on the motion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alexander announced his decision not to join the Democrats' effort on Thursday; Murkowski's statement came Friday before the Senate trial resumed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The looming acquittal for the president was long anticipated, but the roadblock on witnesses still marks a striking setback for Democrats, who at times appeared hopeful that they would be able to persuade enough Republicans to join them in voting to call witnesses, thereby prolonging the trial if not the altering its outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Murkowski made clear on Friday that she did not want an extended trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Given the partisan nature of this impeachment from the very beginning and throughout, I have come to the conclusion that there will be no fair trial in the Senate,\" Murkowski said in a statement. \"I don't believe the continuation of this process will change anything. It is sad for me to admit that, as an institution, the Congress has failed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alexander gave a different rationale: He argued that he had enough evidence that Trump acted inappropriately — but he does not think the president's actions are impeachable. \"If you've got eight witnesses saying that you left the scene of an accident, you don't need nine,\"\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/01/31/801589634/sen-alexander-explains-decision-not-to-call-witnesses-in-trump-impeachment-trial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> he told NPR on Friday\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The \"yes\" votes\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Democratic caucus needed four Republicans to defy their party in order to succeed, but it ultimately only got two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins on Thursday \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenatorCollins/status/1223091529872564225\">announced\u003c/a> that she planned to vote for hearing witnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I believe hearing from certain witnesses would give each side the opportunity to more fully and fairly make their case, resolve any ambiguities, and provide additional clarity,\" she said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman for Romney said on \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LJ0hnson/status/1223241767174180870\">Twitter\u003c/a> Friday morning that the senator wanted to hear from former national security adviser John Bolton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bolton became a central figure in the fight over witnesses after reports describing portions of his forthcoming book in which he purportedly verifies accusations that Trump directly tied military aid to Ukraine with a demand for investigations into his political rivals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Senate trial resumed Friday, Schiff immediately read into the record a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/31/us/politics/trump-bolton-ukraine.html\">New York Times story\u003c/a> that reported on a new revelation in Bolton's manuscript.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Times, Bolton says Trump told him in early May to call Ukraine's president to set up a meeting with Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani to discuss an investigation into the Bidens. Bolton says that among those in the Oval Office meeting with Trump and Bolton was White House counsel Pat Cipollone. Cipollone is now leading Trump's defense team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You will recall Mr. Cipollone suggesting that the House managers were concealing facts from this body. He said all the facts should come out,\" Schiff told senators. \"Well, there is a new fact which indicates that Mr. Cipollone was among those who are in the loop. Yet another reason why we ought to hear from witnesses.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump denied the account in a statement provided by the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I never instructed John Bolton to set up a meeting for Rudy Giuliani, one of the greatest corruption fighters in America and by far the greatest mayor in the history of NYC, to meet with President Zelenskiy.

The vote was 51 to 49 against witnesses. Democrats had pleaded for two weeks to hear testimony from, among others, former national security adviser John Bolton. But most Republicans resisted.

Can you believe these people? I got impeached. They impeached Trump,\" Trump said. \"That's not gonna work. Watch.

Let's try something different now. Join us. Join us. One nation, one nation, one people.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, \"If a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After wide condemnation by Democrats and on social media, Dershowitz said his comments were misinterpreted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Schiff declared, \"That way madness lies, if we are to accept the president essentially can do whatever he wants.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>'Join Us'\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The answer to one question posed by Republican senators must have brought joy to the president's ears. Asked whether the president has the best interests of Americans and their families in mind, Trump attorney Eric Herschmann recited a litany of positive economic statistics in what may have sounded like a Trump reelection ad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are more than 7 million jobs created since the election. Illegal border crossings are down 78% since May, and 100 miles of the wall have been built. The unemployment rate is the lowest in 50 years,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turning to the House managers, he concluded, \"Maybe we could even get more done. Let's try something different now. Join us. Join us. One nation, one nation, one people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqTn2cc91Sc\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Sen. Warren Considers Chief Justice's Position\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., had a sharply worded question for the House managers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At a time when large majorities of Americans have lost faith in government, does the fact that the chief justice is presiding over an impeachment trial in which Republican senators have thus far refused to allow witnesses or evidence contribute to the loss of legitimacy of the chief justice, the Supreme Court and the Constitution?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff answered by first saying, \"The chief justice has presided admirably.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that the country \"does deserve a fair trial,\" which, for Democrats, means calling witnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If they don't get that fair trial, it will just further a cynicism that is corrosive to this institution and to our democracy,\" Schiff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Acquittal at Hand?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Senate is expected to finish the 16 hours of written questions on Thursday night. On Friday, the Senate is expected to convene at 1 p.m. ET and have up to four hours of debate — equally divided between the managers and president's counsels — on whether to consider more evidence or witness testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is possible that at the end of that debate (or any time during or thereafter), the Senate will go in to closed session for private deliberation on the witness question. Only in closed deliberation can they speak to one another on the floor. There is no time limit for closed deliberations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the motion to consider more evidence is approved — a 51-vote majority is required — then senators can offer motions on which witnesses and documents they want to subpoena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 50-50 tie fails. Technically, the presiding officer, Roberts, could move to break a tie, but he is not expected to insert himself into a political process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the motion fails, there are still any number of procedural motions Democrats could offer, and there is potential for another long series of votes. For example, Democrats could offer motions requesting more time to debate, but these would likely be delaying tactics or protest votes that will not affect the outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the lawmakers are done debating all motions, the Senate will then vote on each article of impeachment. Those votes could occur as early as Friday evening. Republicans would like Trump to be acquitted by then, but Democrats are working to recruit enough members to support bringing in witnesses to testify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That effort is flagging, senators say.\u003cbr>\n[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\"]'You cannot be acquitted if you don't have a trial. You don't have a trial if you don't have witnesses and documentation.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The momentum is clearly in the direction of moving to final judgment on Friday,\" said Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo. \"We still have a couple members who said they want to listen to answers to questions, but that's where the momentum is in the caucus right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., tried to walk a tightrope when he gave his assessment on the possibility of bringing in witnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Probably no,\" Schumer told reporters on Wednesday. \"But is it a decent, good chance? Yes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats need to persuade at least four Republicans to cross party lines in order to lock in enough votes to subpoena witnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the most-discussed potential witness is Bolton, who has drawn attention because of a report in \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> that he wrote in a forthcoming book that the president had directly linked the aid for Ukraine to an investigation of the Bidens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking before Thursday's session, Schiff said the Trump administration has \"gone to extraordinary lengths to put a muzzle on John Bolton to avoid calling him as a witness, to avoid letting the American people hear what he has to say.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another House manager, Rep. Jerry Nadler of New York, left the door open to the possibility that the House may subpoena Bolton if the Senate doesn't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will see,\" Nadler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Republicans' Witnesses\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If the door does open to witnesses, Republicans have indicated they would like to call people such as Hunter Biden, who had served on a Ukrainian energy company board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"impeachment\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans might also call the whistleblower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked what kind of delay witnesses would add to the trial, Trump defense lawyer Jay Sekulow said \"months.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This would be the first of many weeks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Schiff bristled at this argument, saying Trump's defense team is exaggerating the delay to discourage senators from supporting calling witnesses, including Bolton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can subpoena John Bolton,\" Schiff said. \"Don't be thrown off by this claim, 'Oh, if you even think about it, we are going to make you pay with delays like you've never seen. We're going to call witnesses that will turn this into a circus.' It shouldn't be a circus. It should be a fair trial. You can't have a fair trial without witnesses.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Republicans have been discussing a possible deal involving a witness-for-witness swap, in which Bolton might be exchange for Biden. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said that if Republicans are able to call just one witness, it will be Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because he's incredibly relevant to whether or not President Trump had a reason to believe that corruption was afoot in the Ukraine,\" Graham told reporters on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The speaker: This Will Leave a Mark\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At her weekly news conference on Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said nothing can remove the asterisk Trump will now carry after having been impeached by the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump \"will not be acquitted,\" she said. \"You cannot be acquitted if you don't have a trial. You don't have a trial if you don't have witnesses and documentation. I would hope that the senators, if it comes to a tie or if there's a question of hearing testimony or receiving documents, they would leave it up to the chief justice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi also said she was \"very proud of our managers,\" saying they have been \"magnificent custodians of the Constitution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR's Brakkton Booker and Lexie Schapitl contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

On Friday, the Senate is expected to convene at 1 p.m. ET and have up to four hours of debate — equally divided between the managers and president's counsels — on whether to consider more evidence or witness testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is possible that at the end of that debate (or any time during or thereafter), the Senate will go in to closed session for private deliberation on the witness question. Only in closed deliberation can they speak to one another on the floor. There is no time limit for closed deliberations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the motion to consider more evidence is approved — a 51-vote majority is required — then senators can offer motions on which witnesses and documents they want to subpoena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 50-50 tie fails. Technically, the presiding officer, Roberts, could move to break a tie, but he is not expected to insert himself into a political process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the motion fails, there are still any number of procedural motions Democrats could offer, and there is potential for another long series of votes. For example, Democrats could offer motions requesting more time to debate, but these would likely be delaying tactics or protest votes that will not affect the outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the lawmakers are done debating all motions, the Senate will then vote on each article of impeachment. Those votes could occur as early as Friday evening. Republicans would like Trump to be acquitted by then, but Democrats are working to recruit enough members to support bringing in witnesses to testify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That effort is flagging, senators say.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
