“Children in a concentration camp dare to protest.”

This is a real statement, describing a real event, in Trump’s America.

Let’s take a few minutes to sit with that and really think about what we can do to free these children and make sure such a statement is never uttered again.

Alex Pretti was a VA ICU nurse. Colleagues remember him as kind, warm, and caring.

He was a beloved son, brother, friend, and neighbor.
 
ICE agents murdered him in cold blood. In broad daylight.

And then they had the gall—the sheer, evil audacity—to call *him* a domestic terrorist. (1/3)

Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to Minnesota’s voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.
AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

Fri 1/23/26, in Maine, an agent confirms why they take photos of faces and license plates of observers:

"'Cause we have a nice little database. Now you're considered a domestic terrorist."

ICE and CBP now have a larger budget than all local and state law agencies in the country combined.

This administration does not care about law and order. They only want fascism and fear.

WaPo brutal headline/lede (paywalled): "The surge of federal [ICE] agents into Maine has put the Senate's most vulnerable Republican, Susan Collins, on the defensive -- and in avoidance mode -- as she fends off attacks from two Dem challengers who say she needs to stand up to" Trump. #MEpolitics
ICE surge creates new headache for Maine’s Susan Collins
Susan Collins, the most vulnerable Republican in the Senate, would not say whether she supported the Trump administration’s ICE operation in Maine.

Susan Collins loves to say she’s in one of the most powerful positions in the Senate until it’s time to use that power. She should be standing up to this administration, but she refuses.

Angus King, who capitulated to Trump in previous shutdown fights, has said he'll vote against this. Susan Collins has signaled she's a 'yes'. #MEpolitics
Reminder: DHS legislation that funds ICE at current levels without policy restrictions is in the Senate and needs 60 votes to pass. Deadline is next Friday.

#MEpolitics: I called and left VERY direct messages for King, Collins, and Golden demanding that they cease all cooperation with the regime and immediately force an emergency legislative session to abolish ICE, repeal the Insurrection Act, and pass articles of impeachment for Trump and his cabinet.

The local sheriff was horrified by the arrest of his recruit, and said the federal government is telling a different story of what’s really happening. trib.al/R662Xa5

In the video, the man can be heard shouting, “What’s wrong? I’m just coming from work. I don’t understand this.”

It was so empowering to see so many of our neighbors show up in Lewiston to tell ICE that they are not welcome here. We need now more than ever to stand up for our Somali friends and neighbors; they make us stronger.

ICE needs to be out of Maine and out of our country.
