NEW: Major, BFD action by blue states standing up to ICE.
Maryland, on Tuesday, banned local law enforcement from being part of ICE's notorious 287(g) program.
That automatically forces *9* sheriffs out of their ICE contract!
And New Mexico did the same last week:

In 2025 alone: A woman called 911 alleging domestic violence by Mills, former associates claim Mills hired sex workers while on a “rescue mission” abroad, fellow veterans say Mills earned his Bronze Star through stolen valor, and another ex-girlfriend received a restraining order against Mills.
Everybody hates Cory
Sex workers, bankruptcy, stolen valor, a restraining order, and Trump's “Complete and Total” endorsement for Congress.

Cory Mills had a restraining order placed on him last year. Veterans accuse him of greatly exaggerating his military record. He is rumored to have drunkenly punched someone during an overseas congressional trip. And his international arms company is deep in debt.
