True70% confidence2 sourcesOct 31, 2026Juan Gomez Santiago was arrested in South Carolina.The DHS primary source states that ICE arrested Juan Gomez Santiago, an illegal alien from Mexico, in Charleston, South Carolina, on October 9, so the core arrest-location claim is supported. The claim omits the passage's 'worst of the worst' characterization, which the sources neither confirm nor contradict, and the Daily Signal report merely repeats the White House account.True85% confidence6 sourcesOct 31, 2026Juan Gomez Santiago has an arrest for second-degree domestic violence.A DHS primary source (Source 4) states that Juan Gomez Santiago, an illegal alien from Mexico arrested by ICE in Charleston, SC on October 9, has a criminal history including an arrest for second-degree domestic violence, matching the claim. Daily Signal (Source 6) repeats the same details attributed to the White House, so it adds no independent corroboration; the extracted claim faithfully reflects the passage.True60% confidence4 sourcesOct 31, 2026The Washington Post stated that its polls are likely inaccurate because they cannot get GOP voters, center-right voters, or centrist independents to respond.Sources quoting a Washington Post article show its polling director acknowledged that Republicans were undercounted and that the Post's midterm polling may suffer from inaccuracy, which supports the core of the claim. The claim's specific mention of center-right and centrist independents is not addressed, and the acknowledged problem was tied to particular surveys (Kansas, Maine) rather than all its polls. The claim is extracted from Hugh Hewitt's post, which paraphrases the Post, so the wording is his characterization.
