🚨 The Senate has agreed to a deal to vote on 5/6 full appropriations bills and replace the DHS funding measure with a 2-week stopgap bill, per multiple sources. That gives time to negotiate on the Dem demands for ICE and CBP restraints.

A directory of Black-owned businesses in Maine has gone offline because it’s afraid ICE will use the information to target business owners and customers.
This is the level of fear they’re creating in our community and I’m afraid it’s exactly what they want. #mepolitics

As ICE's crackdown continues in Maine, the scene in Portland feels apocalyptic: today I witnessed people cowering in their homes, curtains drawn, terrified to step outside. Streets empty. Businesses shuttered. Children being escorted to and from school. This is not "law enforcement." This is terror.
