Love the @buckscountybeacon.com but it's not an immigration crackdown. Perhaps that's a direct quote from the governor.

@golden.house.gov you are a traitor to the people of Maine, straight up. A despicable, cowardly, sniveling, pathetic excuse for a Mainer. You are an embarrassment to our state and I am ashamed that you represent any part of this wonderful place. May you be shamed everywhere you go.

This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.

America is facing two interconnected crises: the unchecked proliferation of guns and the escalating militarization of federal law enforcement here at home.

Can confirm from first-hand evidence that MANY patients with accents or who present as non-white did not show up to medical appointments in Maine today. Kids who need medical care are not getting it, for sure, because of ICE intimidation. It's heinous. Morally repugnant.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.
I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.
