Sen. Susan Collins made the announcement in a news release, saying she had spoken to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Collins had previously asked Noem to pause the surge in Maine and Minnesota, saying the operations were too sweeping and indiscriminate.

Leading democratic politicians should make plans to be in Springfield on February 4th
I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

I'm beyond proud to announce our campaign is endorsed by David Hogg & Leaders We Deserve.

If you're sick and tired of status-quo Democrats who watch and do nothing as costs skyrocket and our communities are terrorized, then I ask you to join me at patrickroath.com.
Help us beat the last remaining Dem congressman who voted AGAINST the Affordable Care Act (oh, and Rep. Stephen Lynch also voted to "thank ICE" and expand deportations in a safe blue Massachusetts seat). Proud to endorse @patrickroath.bsky.social! Chip in 👇 secure.actblue.com/donate/lwdwe...

Our fascist leaders explicitly declaring that their untrained paramilitary of goons, a two-decade agency whose massive budget funds thugs in hoodies and body armor with rifles, is more important than an entire American state of 6 million people.

I know I will lose many subscribers, viewers, and followers for my critiques of weak Democrats and the Democratic Establishment, and I'm fine with it.

I refuse to support Vichy Democrats and cowards who refuse to fight for us.

They must be primaried, shamed, and removed.

We need fighters.
