(CNN) — When President Donald Trump’s doctors release a summary of the physical exam he is scheduled to undergo Tuesday, the document is almost certain to conclude he remains in excellent health, if his previous assessments offer any indication.

But that is likely to do little to quiet questions about Trump’s health. And even the president himself has begun making tacit acknowledgement of his own mortality — albeit often in the context of security — as he reflects periodically on his limited time left on Earth and wonders aloud whether he would make it into heaven.

“I don’t know how long I’ll be around,” he mused during an event in the East Room earlier this year. “I have a lot of people gunning for me.”

Trump’s visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center will be the third time he’s visited the facility for a medical exam since becoming the oldest president ever inaugurated last year. The White House said the check-up would include “routine annual dental and medical assessments,” despite him having already visited a dentist in Florida twice this year.

Trump and his team eagerly describe him as a leader with boundless energy and unmatched acuity, shrugging off his visible signs of age and the moments when he appears to doze off during meetings. But even the rosy appraisals offered by his physician after frequent exams have done little to dampen questions about Trump’s health. Presidents are not legally obligated to release anything about their health, so everything they do disclose is by choice. Several presidents before Trump were found afterward to have concealed medical issues in office.

Trump, whose political brand is built on an image of strength and vigor, is famously loathe to concede any physical fault. He makes near-daily comparisons to a predecessor he calls “Sleepy Joe.” His aides are quick to point out when he is working late — as they did this weekend, when a communications aide announced the president was in the Oval Office at 9:30 p.m.

“I don’t happen to be a senior. I’m much younger than you,” Trump insisted at a retirement community in Florida this month. “I’m a much younger man than you.”

Yet even though Trump is a louder and more visible presence than Joe Biden was during his presidency, he still travels less often than he did during his first term and has on multiple occasions closed his eyes for long stretches during on-camera events.

Repeated attempts on Trump’s life by would-be assassins and his advancing age appear to be reminders that everything could change in an instant. Even as he and his aides downplay any physical deterioration, like bruising on his hands and swelling in his legs, the president has allowed brief glimpses into his thoughts on earthliness.

A stray comment as he welcomed King Charles III to the White House last month offered a revealing window. Referencing his own parents’ 63-year-long marriage, he turned to his own wife, who he wed 21 years ago.

“That’s a record we won’t be able to match, darling,” said the 79-year-old president. “Sorry, just not going to work out that way.”

In public, the president has maintained remarkable sangfroid around repeated threats on his life. When he emerged wearing a tuxedo into the White House briefing room last month after a panic-ridden press dinner, his demeanor was remarkably serene.

“It’s a dangerous life,” he shrugged, reflecting on whether he would change any of his habits an hou

(CNN) — A chaotic scene erupted early Monday outside a federal immigration detention center in New Jersey, which has been the site of protests, arrests of lawmakers and reports of a labor and hunger strike by detainees.

Protesters were seen blocking unmarked government vehicles and, at some point, were part of a skirmish with armed, masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using gas canisters and batons outside Delaney Hall, a privately owned 1,000-bed facility ICE uses as a detention center in Newark, as shown in video from Freedom News TV and obtained by CNN.

Tensions outside the facility escalated over the weekend and continued into Monday evening as politicians called for oversight after months of accusations of inhumane conditions. Other ICE facilities across the country have also faced accusations of subpar conditions as President Donald Trump’s administration continues a massive nationwide deportation campaign. A recent CNN investigation found that nearly 50 ICE detainees have died since Trump’s return to office, the highest death toll in at least two decades.

The Department of Homeland Security denied the accusations posted by elected officials over the weekend, saying the politicians were “spreading smears about ICE law enforcement and the Delaney Hall ICE facility.”

Here is what we know about the New Jersey facility and why it’s at the center of another wave of protests and allegations of subpar living conditions.

Inhumane conditions lead to hunger strike, reports say

Before clashes between protesters and federal agents took place, a group of detainees at Delaney Hall went on a hunger and labor strike Friday to protest the spoiled food at the facility, just one of many issues they have regularly faced during their detention, said attorneys that represent some of the detainees. Roughly 300 detainees participated in the strike, NJ.com reported.

“The conditions are brutal,” said Selenia Destefani, a managing attorney and CEO of Nova Law Group, which represents multiple people in the facility. “People just sleep on the floor — overcrowded rooms, cold showers, no food, extremely cold in the cells with no blankets. Not sound conditions to live in.”

DHS didn’t directly respond to those accusations when asked for comment, but said in a news release sent to CNN that, “all detainees are provided with 3 meals a day, clean water, clothing, bedding, showers, soap, and toiletries.”

(CNN) — Maureen Galindo, a sex therapist and housing advocate, caught Democrats off guard when she placed first in the March 3 primary for Texas’ 35th Congressional District, despite spending just a few thousand dollars on her campaign.

That surprise quickly turned to alarm as her use of antisemitic tropes in criticizing Israel and her primary rival Johnny Garcia — whose bid for the US House seat has been backed by a pro-Israel group — gained national attention, drawing widespread condemnation from members of both parties.

Now, Tuesday’s runoff election has become for many a referendum on Galindo’s remarks and a test of whether national Democrats, at a time of increasing anti-Israel sentiment in the party base, can stop her. Thanks in part to nearly $1 million in mysterious super PAC spending, Democrats are grappling with the possibility that Galindo could win the nomination — an outcome the party worries could jeopardize their chances in the district and tie them to rhetoric they’ve denounced.

“She does not reflect the values of Democrats, and she certainly doesn’t represent the values of San Antonio,” said Laura Barberena, a locally based Democratic strategist.

Galindo, who denies that her remarks are antisemitic, has attributed her success in the first round of the primary to grassroots support. She raised just $5,344.50 through the end of March — a fraction of what other candidates brought in — according to recent Federal Election Commission filings.

Texas Democrats instead point to an influx of infrequent voters who were drawn in by the competitive US Senate primary between state Rep. James Talarico and US Rep. Jasmine Crockett.

“That brought a lot of untraditional Democratic primary voters that may be not as informed,” said Bert Santibañez, a San Antonio-based Democratic strategist. “They go down the ballot, they see Maureen Galindo — a woman first name, Latino surname — and that gets the nod for them.” (Galindo has a Spanish surname, but has described herself as White.)

Democrats are banking on a smaller but more informed group of voters turning out for the runoff, compared to the primary electorate that narrowly backed Galindo over Garcia by just under 1,200 votes.

“People didn’t have much of an awareness of her more controversial statements and opinions in March, and now they do,” said Katherine Fischer, the executive director of the Texas Majority PAC, who said Garcia is a stronger candidate. “If you’re running for office there’s always a chance, but I think it’s tough for her at this point. I hope it is.”

Much of Galindo’s social media presence ahead of the primary focused on housing policy and criticizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement. She posted extensively about her opposition to a plan to fund a new stadium complex for the San Antonio Spurs and said she would support impeaching President Donald Trump and members of his administration, as well as prosecuting ICE agents. Some posts drew on her background as a marriage and family therapist, guiding followers on how to regulate their nervous systems.

But even before the March 3 vote there were signs that she was going beyond criticism of Israel and drifting into antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories. She wrote in December that she wouldn’t accept Israel’s “blood money” and said in January that “Jewish church leadership has a dominant economic and political (& media) power that is very real, harmful, and should be named and criticized.”

She did not change course when she advanced to the runoff. During an interview with Texas Public Radio earlier this month, she claimed that the US is b
