HEADS UP: #MAINE Operation “Catch of the Day”

#ICE launches major enforcement effort in Maine. Mayors in #Westbrook, #Lewiston and #Portland confirmed ICE was conducting operations and detaining people. Ice is reportedly threatening citizens and observers.

I gotta tell ya though, reading the comments on this local report has made me rethink Maine. Everyone there is so nice, I had no idea they were chock full of yeehawdists.

There has been chatter that #ICE is planning a surge into #Maine. Why?

Lewiston, Maine, has one of the largest Somali populations in the United States. The mayor is Somali American. #Miller can’t just rid the US of Black folks, so the regime uses Somali as code.

But nobody can confirm the surge. Except maybe I can. #DHS issued an order on Thursday for the swift acquisition of cold-weather apparel for its U.S. Customs and Border Protection Houlton Sector. The contract for the jackets ($400 ea) and pants ($270 ea) of various sizes was awarded to #CryePrecision, a Brooklyn based company.

These items will be delivered to the Houlton Sector’s base in neighboring Hodgdon, a rural town near the Canadian border. It borders New Brunswick, #Canada to the east and the town of #Houlton to the north.

The surge is real, I’d bet money on it. #Portland and #Lewiston are about to be invaded.

Reminder: The first country the Nazis invaded was their own.

#SouthernMaine - #USM Student, Staff and Faculty

Oakhurst Campus #FoodPantry

"The Oakhurst Campus Food Pantry provides essential resources to the USM community to fight food insecurity and meet the basic needs of students, faculty, and staff using a self-assessed need model.

"We believe individuals should have the autonomy to determine their current level of need and be empowered with accessible, equitable, and inclusive resources to alleviate and eliminate the need.

"We distributed over 10,900 lbs of food to the USM community in 2022

"There is no paperwork to fill out or expectation to 'prove' your current need in order to access the pantry; all you need is your current #UniversityOfMaineSystem (#UMS) ID. We do not limit how often you can access pantry resources.

"We offer a wide range of food (non-perishable, cold, and frozen), household, and personal goods. Shop in-person at our Portland campus location or submit a pre-order online, available for pick-up in #PortlandME, #GorhamME, and #Lewiston-#Auburn Campus.

"The Pantry has experienced a steady increase in need over the last 18+ months as reflected in our data; resources distributed, spending to stock pantry items, and the number of people being served. Pantry regulars include undergraduate and graduate students, domestic and international students, and university staff and faculty. What was once supplemental for many people, has become a resource they regularly depend upon."
