Patriots handle AFC East rival Jets at home behind TreVeyon Henderson's 3-touchdown night

The New England Patriots continue to roll, handling their AFC East rival New York Jets, 27-14, on "Thursday Night Football."

New England extended its lengthy win streak to eight games, improving to 9-2 on the season. Meanwhile, the Jets’ brief win streak, after starting the season 0-7, has come to a close.

Heading into this game, the Patriots were expected to dominate the Jets. While the scoreboard didn’t say so in the end, their rookie running back certainly provided the fireworks.

TreVeyon Henderson, who had a breakout game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week with 147 rushing yards and two long touchdown runs, added three more touchdowns to his first-year stat line in this victory. 

He was the only Patriots player to find the end zone, starting with the team’s 13-play, 69-yard drive that ended with his entire offensive line pushing him over the goal line to tie the game at seven apiece.

On the Patriots’ next drive, Henderson rushed in from seven yards out to give the Patriots a 14-7 lead to end the first half.

PATRIOTS DRAW PRAISE WITH STORMY UNIFORM DEBUT AGAINST JETS

New England started to pull away after quarterback Drake Maye, an MVP hopeful who had yet another great performance, put together chunk completions to set up an eventual touchdown pass to Henderson, who found himself wide open in the end zone.

Henderson finished the game with 62 rushing yards on 19 carries, while hauling in five catches for 31 yards.

Meanwhile, Justin Fields and the Jets’ offense struggled in yet another outing despite a great 14-play opening drive that ended with the quarterback rushing it in himself.

Fields was coming off a rough game against the Cleveland Browns, though the Jets were able to win thanks to two special teams scores. He threw for only 54 yards with a 60.4 quarterback rating.

Fields was 15-of-26 for 116 yards in this game with a touchdown pass on a broken play to John Metchie III that made it 21-14 in the third quarter. But there were more negative moments than positive for the Jets, including a fumble lost on a low snap in the fourth quarter while the Jets were down just a touchdown.

The Patriots were able to run the fourth-quarter clock out, and give the home crowd what they were hoping for in Mike Vrabel’s first year as a head coach — a winning season. 

There is still more work to do, but nine wins put the Patriots above .500.

Looking more into the box score, Maye was an efficient 25-of-34 for 281 yards with his one touchdown pass to Henderson. Stefon Diggs also led the way with nine catches for 105 yards, a game high, while Mack Hollins and Hunter Henry both caught four passes.

For the Jets, Metchie was the leading receiver with 45 yards on three grabs, while Breece Hall had 58 rushing yards on 14 carries. Fields had 67 yards on 11 runs.

California's largest migrant detention center accused of horrific conditions in federal lawsuit

A new federal lawsuit alleges horrifying conditions at California's largest migrant detention facility, including sewage bubbles rising from shower drains and detainees being forced to use dirty bandages to wrap open sores.

The American Civil Liberties Union is among the groups representing seven men at a previously mothballed prison in the desert in California City.

The lawsuit, filed on Wednesday, alleges inadequate medical care for serious issues like cancer, life-threatening heart conditions and diabetes, as well as neglect of people with disabilities and forced isolation.

The complaint also claims dirty housing units, inadequate food and water, very cold temperatures, restrictions on family visits and delays in access to lawyers. Detainees are additionally reporting encroachment on their freedom of religion, including confiscation of prayer mats, head coverings even holy texts.

OREGON DEMOCRATS OUTRAGED OVER REPORTED ICE FACILITY PLANS NEAR PORTLAND

"ICE is playing with people’s lives, and they treat people like they’re trash, like they’re nothing," one of the plaintiffs, Sokhean Keo, said in a statement on Thursday. "Some of the people I’m detained with don’t even have soap — they take showers without soap — and they’re losing weight because they don’t have enough to eat."

Severe understaffing and crumbling infrastructure were also reported at the facility, where men were told when it first opened to clean out dirty cells and housing units full of garbage and "toilets with fecal matter still in them" without being given cleaning supplies.

The complaint argues that the detention center has worse conditions than a prison for criminals. Detainees are held in their cells for much of the day with nothing to keep them occupied, "resulting in a widespread sense of hopelessness, desperation and, in some cases, self-harm and suicidal ideation."

DHS PLANS 'CORNHUSKER CLINK' DETENTION CENTER AS TRUMP EXPANDS IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT

"No human being, immigrant or not, should be subjected to these horrendous conditions," another plaintiff, Gustavo Guevara, said in a statement. "I hope society becomes aware of the abuse, neglect, indifference, and the overall unjust treatment we are being subjected to, and does not turn a blind eye. It’s not right that because we’re immigrants they feel they can treat us this way."

Fernando Gomez Ruiz, a diabetic, was eating at a food truck outside a Home Depot when he was detained by ICE last month. He said he has been denied regular doses of insulin, "leading to elevated blood sugar levels and a large, oozing ulcer on the bottom of his foot" that he covers with soiled bandages because clean wraps are not provided at the facility, according to the lawsuit, which stresses that he fears he will lose his foot.

The prison was shut down in 2023, but ICE contracted to reopen the facility as a migrant detention center with a bed capacity of 2,560. Officials began sending migrants to the facility starting in late August.

"The treatment of the people held in the California City facility is yet another example of ICE’s utter disregard for the rights and dignity of people in its custody," Kyle Virgien, senior staff attorney at the ACLU’s National Prison Project, said in a statement. "Access to necessities like food, basic medical care, and counsel aren’t mere suggestions – they are constitutionally protected rights that all people in detention are entitled to."

It currently holds about 800 people, and it is expected to reach full capacity early next year, as the Trump administration continues to target migrant communities as part of the president's mass deportation agenda.

Department of Homeland Security Spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin denied the allegations, purporting that ICE "has higher detention standards" than most prisons.

"All detainees are provided with 3 meals a day, clean water, clothing, bedding, showers, and toiletries, and have access to phones to communicate with their family members and lawyers. Certified dieticians evaluate meals," she said in a statement.
