Partisan politics and the illegal immigrant crisis are rapidly becoming central issues in the battleground congressional race between Tom Suozzi and Mazi Pilip, who are vying to represent District 3 of New York, which spans Nassau County and part of Eastern Queens.

Ms. Pilip and Mr. Suozzi are gunning for the seat vacated by Republican Rep. George Santos after the House voted to expel him.
