Let’s not forget the real reason why President Trump is sending ICE agents to Maine. It’s not because there are undocumented immigrants here. It’s because Maine is led by a Democratic governor. It’s the same reason why he sent ICE agents to Minnesota and California. They also have Democratic leaders. These three states also voted against Trump in 2024.
There are hundreds of thousands more undocumented immigrants in Texas and in Florida than there are in Minnesota, but those two Southern states have Republican leaders, and voted for Trump, so there has been no surge of ICE agents there.
Trump is engaged in political terrorism, paid for with our tax dollars. Law-abiding citizens and legal immigrants are caught in the crosshairs, and undocumented immigrants are being treated brutally. People are being killed in their communities, and dying in custody.
This is not about deporting undocumented immigrants with criminal records. It’s about political revenge and intimidation, using violent and unlawful tactics. Every concerned citizen should be contacting members of Congress to demand an end to this atrocity.
