Two of Donald Trump’s most fervent supporters won’t be checking the ballot box for the New York Republican in the Empire State's April primary because of what they call the state's "onerous" rules. 

Trump’s children Ivanka and Eric failed to register as Republicans in time to participate in the primary slated for April 19, Trump said on Fox News.

"They were unaware of the rules and they didn't register in time," Trump said on Fox News Monday morning. "So they feel very, very guilty. They feel very guilty but it's fine."

"Eric and Ivanka, I guess, won't be voting," Trump said. 

Both Trumps were registered to vote but not enrolled in a political party, according to New York State's public Voter Registration Database. Ivanka and Eric Trump's voter statuses were listed as "active."  

While new voters had until March 25 to register to vote, the deadline to change party was back in October 2015.

Ivanka, 34, and Eric Trump, 32, said in a statement released by the campaign that New York is "one of the most onerous states in terms of timeframe to change party affiliation for a closed primary."

"Our experience in New York, and inability to change our party affiliation so that we could vote for our father in the NY primary, was the reason that we proactively began making videos last year to educate voters on a state-by-state basis on what is required in order for them to vote in their own state primaries," they said.  "Each state differs greatly in terms of the rules and requirements--most allowing you to change your status on or close to the date of voting, if even required. Eric and I are fully supportive of our father and look forward to casting our vote for him in November."

Trump's other son, Donald Trump Jr., 38, is a registered Republican, The Associated Press reported, citing state records. Trump's youngest daughter Tiffany, 22, is registered as a Republican in Pennsylvania, where she is attending college.  

New York’s deadlines could also affect the Democratic side and hurt Bernie Sanders in particular, according to NBC News. 

Sanders’ campaign added their first paid staffers in New York just days before the March deadline for new voters to register. 

"We get tons of emails from people who are just discovering that they can't vote for Bernie because they realize it's a closed primary," Tascha Van Auken, who co-founded the volunteer group Team Bernie NY, told NBC News. 

Another problem is that Sanders has shown strength among independents and in New York about 20 percent of voters aren’t affiliated with a party.

NBC 4 New York has also reached out to the New York City and state Board of Elections.

The head of the first Syrian family to be resettled in the United States said Monday he is “honored to be here” and that ever since they arrived in Kansas City last week, his wife and their five children feel "safe."

Speaking through a translator during a press conference, Ahmad al-Abboud said "he will be doing his best to insure that he fits in with everybody."

Two buildings at the former Raymark Ball Field in Stratford will have to be torn down after a fire on Sunday.

Firefighters responded to the former ball field just before 5:30 p.m. to investigate reports of a brush fire and found two abandoned buildings that has been used as a concession and maintenance facility on fire.

The buildings, which had been neglected for years, were damaged beyond repair and will most likely be razed, officials said.

Officials said the property has been a concern because of asbestos type dust from the Raymark Company, which previously managed the site, but the fire was not in the area where the waste from Raymark was and there is no concern to the neighboring homes.

Hundreds of people who underwent dialysis at a Massachusetts medical center may have been exposed to disease as a result of improper procedures, according to NBC affiliate WWLP.

Baystate Health said in a statement to WWLP the hospital is notifying some 575 patients who were treated between Jan. 1, 2015, and Feb. 10, 2016, at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield.

A recent state inspection required Baystate to correct certain signage, the use of protective gloves and documentation of dialysis operations, according to the statement.

Baystate Health epidemiologist Dr. Sarah Haessler said most of the patients at risk have already undergone additional lab work and have not shown any signs of illness.

"While our evidence suggests that the risk is extremely low, the safest and most proactive course of action is to notify patients that there was a deviation from standard protocol and recommend that they follow up with their physician for consultation. We will take any measure necessary to ensure that our patients are safe," Haessler told WWLP.

According to Haessler, staff will be retrained and the hospital will purchase additional dialysis equipment.

Almost a year and a half after burglars broke into more than 100 storage units in North Haven and stole a Jaguar and several other possessions, police have arrested two suspects.

A Palm Beach sheriff's deputy and his 9-year-old son are among three family members killed in a boating accident Sunday near Stuart, Florida, according to authorities and family.

Relatives said the missing boaters included Palm Beach County Sheriff's Deputy Fernandas Jones and his son, 9-year-old Jaden. Jones served as a Miami-Dade police officer for 20 years before joining the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, where he worked for a year and half, his wife said.

Also on board were Jones' father-in-law, Wills Bell, and his cousin, 45-year-old Robert Stewart, the lone survivor.

Stewart is in the hospital, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and U.S. Coast Guard officials announced Monday.

Stewart told investigators 71-year-old Bell drifted off first, then Fernandas.

"Our survivor said he did have the 9-year-old in a life jacket and held on to him as long as he could, but was eventually not able to do so and the child drowned," explained Martin County Sheriff William Snyder.

The first body was found on a beach around 7 a.m. Monday near the House of Refuge at 301 SE MacArthur Blvd., NBC affiliate WPTV in West Palm Beach reports, citing Martin County Fire Rescue. The sheriff's office later tweeted that two other bodies were found.

WPTV's Chopper 5 spotted a capsized boat south of the St. Lucie Inlet at 8:20 a.m., and an MCSO helicopter picking up a man nearby.

Authorities said the boat got swamped and filled with water, but did not overturn. They said it appears to have stayed flat and below the surface.

The group left in a 24-foot Sea Ray boat around 8 a.m. Sunday for a fishing trip, according to Jones' wife, Michelle, who called authorities around 10 p.m. to report them missing. She said the men usually fished offshore near Stuart or the Intracoastal Waterway.

A small craft advisory was in effect Sunday, meaning strong winds were capable of producing dangerous wave conditions.

Search crews from Lake Worth and Fort Pierce were sent out to search for the missing boaters, according to the Coast Guard.

This is a developing story and will be updated as new information becomes available. Keep refreshing for updates.

Republican front-runner Donald Trump is not happy with the GOP's delegate rules, saying they are "corrupt" and denying him delegates in states he won. But NBC's analysis shows Trump has actually benefited from the party's arcane rules for allocating delegates more than his rival Ted Cruz.

Trump now has 756 delegates — or 45 percent of all delegates awarded to date —yet he has won about 37 percent of all votes in the primaries, according to the NBC analysis. 

For each percentage point of total primary votes Trump has won, he has been awarded 1.22 percent of the total delegates. That means he has been awarded a delegate bonus of 22 percent above his raw support from voters. 

Meanwhile, Cruz has been awarded about 1.14 percent of the delegates for each percentage point of votes he has won — a delegate bonus of 14 percent above his raw support. The data show Trump has been awarded 8 percent more delegates than Cruz for the same rate of voter support.

The West Haven man charged with killing his wife admitted to strangling her and waited several hours before calling 911, according to a police report.

Carlos Pinedo called 911 around 3:45 p.m. Sunday and told a dispatcher his wife had fallen and was on the floor. According to police, Pinedo then told the dispatcher he had strangled his wife and that she was not breathing.

Police and EMS arrived at Pinedo's home at 1014 Campbell Avenue and found the victim, 38-year-old Catherine Pinedo, on the floor of a bedroom. Paramedics told police it appeared the victim had been dead for several hours.

Detective spoke with Pinedo, 44, who told them he got into an argument with his wife Sunday morning, got a knife and planned to stab her to death, according to police. He said his wife was able to stop him and he eventually turned the knife over to her, but then grabbed her neck and forced her to the floor, the police report stated. He told detectives he strangled his wife until she fell unconscious, police said.

Pinedo said he tried to perform CPR his wife, but was unsuccessful. He admitted he waited several hours before calling 911, according to the police report.

Pinedo faced a judge on Monday and was held on $2 million bond.

The couple had two children together, but they were not home at the time of the incident, police said.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton hold double-digit leads over their closest challengers ahead of their home state's presidential primaries, an NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist Poll has found.

More than half of likely voters in New York's upcoming Republican and Democratic party presidential primaries said they would vote for the Manhattan businessman or former secretary of state and U.S. senator representing the Empire State, respectively. 

Trump leads his closest challenger, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, by 33 points, while Clinton holds a 14-point lead over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Brooklyn native.

The poll has a margin of error of 4.2 percentage points for Democrats and 6.1 for Republicans.

"The road to the conventions goes through New York for both the Democrats and Republicans," said Lee M. Miringoff, director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. "Right now, the front-runners look like they will erase recent setbacks and add significantly to their delegate margins. New York is not likely to enhance the hopes of those trying to close the gap in the delegate hunt."

Monday found all of the candidates but Cruz stumping in New York, which could be pivotal if underdogs manage to wrest delegates from the front-runners. Clinton was in Long Island, while Sanders, Trump and Kasich were upstate. Two of Trump's children were found to have missed the deadline to register as Republicans, meaning they won't be able to vote for their father next week.

Fifty-five percent of polled Democrats said they were planning on voting for Clinton, while 41 percent of voters said they planned to vote for Sanders. Three percent of likely voters were still undecided ahead of the April 19 primaries.

On the Republican side, Trump was the favored candidate of 54 percent of polled voters. Twenty-one percent told pollsters they’d be voting for Kasich, and another 18 percent said they were planning to cast ballots for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

If Trump wins the state but goes to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland later this year without enough delegates to win the party’s nomination on the first ballot, about 64 percent of likely Republican primary voters in New York said that Trump should still get the nomination. Another 28 percent said that the party should nominate someone else.

Regardless of whom the GOP selects as its nominee, pollsters found they’d have trouble beating the Democratic nominee. Sanders and Clinton both hold large margins over each of the Republican candidates. Kasich performs better than Cruz or Trump, but still would trail either Democratic candidate by at least 15 points.

The poll comes the same day as a Monmouth University poll of likely Democratic voters that found Clinton would likely beat Sanders by about 12 points if the primary were held today.

Locket's Meadow Farm animal rescue wants to know why hay continues to disappear.

Kathleen Schuman owns the Bethany farm. She said at least once a week for the last three years some of her hay goes missing.

After seeing a suspicious person come onto her property in the early morning hours, Schuman said she saw a man steal some of the hay.

“So he came in at 5:40 AM, got the hay loaded up his trunk and drove past my other driveway.”

She said there were nine hay stacks and five of them went stolen.

Schurman said times are hard and every hay stack counts. She buys bales of hay day-by-day at about $150 because it costs too much to fill up the farm’s hay mount, which costs about $4,000.

“We’re a rescue! We’re a non-profit! We go penny, to penny to penny to penny. So when somebody takes those bales of hay we have to scramble to go get more.”

Schuman said she's reported the incident to state police, although state police tell NBC Connecticut they have not received a formal complaint.

The rescue has been caring for animals for the past 15 years.

A man was found dead in a driveway in Waterbury Monday evening.

Police were called to 48 Lounsbury St. after received calls reporting shots fired.

When police arrived, they located the victim.

Police are still investigating.
