DoomsdaysCW@Da_Gut This is obviously ICE targeting a business -- in this case, #BackyardFarms (who grow some good stuff). They are trying to scare away #Farmworkers who help provide #Mainers with fresh food!
THE WORST OF THE WORST?!!! People who help supply food?!!
About a dozen workers detained in #SkowheganME #ImmigrationRaid, advocates say
The arrests marked the second raid this month by federal immigration agents on workers traveling to #BackyardFarms in #MadisonME.

Excerpt: "About 12 agricultural workers were detained in Skowhegan by federal officers Wednesday morning, two community advocates with knowledge of the situation said.
"Officers who appeared to be affiliated with U.S. Customs and Border Protection boarded a van and detained the workers at about 6 a.m., Iver Lofving, an advocate and translator, said.
"The van, Lofving said, was carrying workers from a former motel in Skowhegan to Backyard Farms in Madison and was stopped by federal agents about 10 minutes from Backyard Farms. The van also picked up several people from elsewhere in Skowhegan, who were detained as part of the operation, he said.
"Federal and local officials have yet to confirm the details of the operation, including how many workers were detained, where they are from, why they were detained and where they are being held. CBP and Skowhegan police did not respond to requests for comment.
"The raid marked the second time this month that immigration officers have detained workers en route from the former Skowhegan motel at 137 West Front St. to Backyard Farms. "
