It was never about finding the “worst of the worst.” It was always about meeting some made-up deportation quota—and kicking as many non-white people out of this country as possible.
It’s racist, it’s fascist, and it’s doing irreparable damage to our country. (4/4)
#ICEOUT
My office is doing everything it can to identify and locate others who’ve been taken, but there’s a clear pattern to these abductions: a VAST majority are following a lawful immigration process, have committed no crimes, and are simply trying to build a life for themselves and their families. (3/4)
A man with no criminal record whose car window was smashed in while his baby was inside.
An engineer who earned his master’s from UMaine and was here on a work visa. He also had his car window smashed in.
Another mom with a pending asylum case who was abducted by ICE in front of her kids. (2/4)
🧵
DHS is bragging about capturing 200 people in Maine.
Thus far, only 8 of those identified have been accused or convicted of a crime.
Who are some of the other so-called “worst of the worst”?
A mother whose only “crime” was letting her 4-year-old play soccer with other kids outside. (1/4)
In the words of James Baldwin, “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
Let us always have the courage to face our shared history—and the love and imagination necessary to build a better future. (3/3)
Sadly, this Administration is hellbent on erasing that history—censoring content at museums and national parks; banning books; and promoting a whitewashed version of history that ignores the intergenerational trauma and tragedy millions have been forced to endure.
We will not let that happen. (2/3)
🧵
Black History Month gives us all a chance to reflect on—and bear witness to—the Black experience in America.
To confront the horrors of slavery, and the ongoing scourge of racism.
To both acknowledge injustice and honor the infinite contributions Black Americans have made to our country. (1/3)
Trump has run the Kennedy Center into the ground, failed artists + workers, and disgraced the memory of JFK.
Can’t sell tickets. Can’t book performers. So to hide his utter failure he is shutting it down for “renovations.”
I call BULLSHIT.
Heartbreaking as some of these stories are, it's so inspiring to see how organizations are meeting the moment. How everyday Mainers are stepping up to help their neighbors.
Regardless of what ICE’s operations look like going forward, that support—that solidarity—is needed now more than ever. (5/5)
Throughout our state, hundreds of businesses and nonprofits are facing similar crises.
The impacts—on our economy, on our communities, and on the health and wellbeing of so many innocent people—have been devastating. (4/5)
Project HOME finds housing for families and individuals who’ve experienced homelessness—including those from immigrant communities. Their model has a 99% success rate.
Because many of their clients are afraid to go to work, they’re now at risk of falling behind on rent (or being evicted). (3/5)
Presente! Maine is an incredible nonprofit dedicated to empowering displaced Afro/Indigenous-Latines in Maine through survival programs, community-building, and cultural celebration.
They’ve had to launch an emergency campaign to get food to people who fear it isn't safe to leave their homes. (2/5)
🧵
Yesterday, I visited three organizations that’ve been directly impacted by ICE’s terror campaign.
At American Roots, an apparel company that employs new Mainers, I was amazed to see so many people showing up to work—despite the ever-present threat of ICE.
Their bravery is so inspiring. (1/5)
It’s yet another example of how this Administration doesn't actually care about about “freedom” or the Constitution. All they care about is protecting their own power—and silencing anyone who gets in their way.
Arresting journalists for doing their job is a chilling abuse of power—and an assault on the very idea of a free press.
The Admin is clearly trying to intimidate the media from documenting their lawlessness.
Two different courts refused to greenlight charges. That’s how absurd the DOJ’s case is.
Threatening peaceful observers.
Detaining immigrants who here legally.
Only providing information to partisan news outlets like Fox over members of Congress.
Operation “Catch of the Day” has brought nothing but fear, anxiety, and terror to our state.

1/29 U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree told me Thursday afternoon that it does *appear* the ICE surge in Maine IS actually ending, but warns that the Trump Administration immigration policies of the last year remain #maine #MEpolitics
This is what ICE is spending YOUR tax dollars on. “Alarming” doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Not a cent more for this out of control, violent, + unaccountable agency.
Abolish, dismantle, overhaul—whatever verb you want to use, it’s clear that ICE, in its current form, cannot continue to exist.
Facial recognition apps (which are dangerously unreliable) to determine whether someone is “legal."
License plate readers used to follow observers back to their homes (this is already happening in Maine).
Cell phone location.
Hacking into locked phones and computers.
