If you haven’t yet called and/or emailed your House Representatives to tell them in no uncertain terms that they must vote NO on the monstrously ugly reconciliation bill, you still have time!
Start with the “moderate” Republican Reps and work your way down to Democrats.

Here’s contact information for Reps Golden, Fitzpatrick, Valadao, Lawler.
Call, write, fax, and/or visit “moderate” House Reps’ offices NOW!
Per House Dem leadership we likely have about 8 hours remaining to maintain a united Dem front and convince 4 House Republicans to vote NO on the bill.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back?
The answer is due process.

A request from @mainepeople.bsky.social to help stop ICE from contracting with local law enforcement in Bangor.
At the April 14th Bangor City Council meeting, MPA members urged the city to pass an ordinance banning these contracts, like Rep. Rana’s bill (LD 1259) would do statewide.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
