Maine has one of the smallest per capita immigrant populations in the country. There are like 6,000 undocumented immigrants in the entire state. There's obviously zero legitimate basis for any kind of enforcement surge there—it's just a naked pretext to punish them for voting for Democrats.

It is -9 degrees without windchill. I have retreated to the Skyway. But the streets are full and they keep coming. There have been larger protests but I can’t think of that’s been more hazardous to bare skin.

DOGE staff signed an agreement with an “advocacy group” to discuss using federal data to challenge election results.
While the group remains unnamed, it might not be unknown. A top election denial organization contacted DOGE during the period in question — and its motives were strikingly aligned.

Did DOGE sign a ‘voter data agreement’ with election deniers True the Vote?
True the Vote mounted a coordinated campaign, pleading with DOGE to use federal databases, including the Social Security Administration, to probe voter rolls.

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article.

Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.
Analysis by The Marshall Project of ICE data obtained by the Deportation Data Project found that the Trump administration’s revival of family detention has swept thousands of children into ICE custody. At least 3,800 children under 18, including 20 infants, have been booked since Trump took office.
ICE Threw Thousands of Kids in Detention, Many For Longer Than Court-Prescribed Limit
Former immigration staffers argue ICE is choosing to detain families for prolonged periods to speed deportations and compel them to leave.

Jamie Dimon and @postopinions.bsky.social should check their facts. Right now, federal law prevents states from doing this—and it's the big banks who want to keep it that way.

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home!
