This saddens me a lot, as I remember #BatesCollege but also the cities of #Lewiston-Auburn and have very found memories of #Maine. Ever since I graduated in 1999, I have been missing them! But now, the effects of this new brand of #fascism are starting to show up: several campus buildings will be accessible only with a student, faculty or staff card. The deans are asking students to be extra-careful in their political actions and public speech. It really feels bad.

College and students prepare amid reports of ICE in Lewiston

Reports of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity increasing in Maine has sparked heightened tensions, changes to policy, and student coordination on Bates’ campus. “I personally feel really scared, not just for myself, but for my classmates and for the people of Lewiston, obviously, and I really don’t know what to expect with ICE coming...

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.

#ICE activities underway in #Maine. #Lewiston has a #Somali immigrant community. Its mayor said ICE terror and intimidation tactics showed a complete lack of humanity. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-starts-immigration-operation-maine-nyt-reports-2026-01-21/
Downtown Lewiston ‘eerily quiet’ as immigrant community braces for ICE action

The largest immigration enforcement and removal operation in Maine during President Donald Trump’s second term is expected to be centered on Lewiston and Portland.

Bangor Daily News

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.
