Hearing the stories from witnesses at today’s hearing, the anger I’m feeling can barely be put into words.
Legal observers pepper-sprayed, jailed, and denied access to food and water.
People pulled over and arrested based solely on their skin color—in clear violation of the 4th Amendment. (1/2)

You can watch the briefing here👇
Checking in from Minneapolis with fellow New Englander @balint.house.gov, about to start our briefing with elected officials, lawyers and law enforcement.
What we know so far: The community here is strong. Neighbors are helping neighbors. People are standing up for their rights.
*This* is America.
More to come tomorrow and in the days ahead, but for now, please know that I will do everything in my power to protect Mainers and immigrant communities.
It’s important that those who choose to protest do so peacefully, and that everyone, regardless of their background or immigration status, knows their rights.
My team and I remain in constant communication with the Governor, the Mayors of Lewiston and Portland, and community organizations to prepare for increased enforcement activity.
I know Mainers are on edge and incredibly worried over possible increased ICE operations. I am too.
I’m in Minnesota, where tomorrow, I will attend a briefing to hopefully learn how we can prepare for—and protect our citizens from—any potential federal operations.
This Administration has no problem spending $175 billion on untrained and out-of-control immigration agencies, but $2 billion for these modest resources is too much.
That speaks volumes.
It's clear this Administration has no idea what it’s doing—and lives are quite literally at risk because of it.
Earlier this week the Admin cancelled $2B in Substance Abuse + Mental Health Services grants.
Thankfully, the funding has been restored.
These grants provide critical resources. Suicide prevention, substance-use treatment—I hear from Mainers every day that we need more of these services, not less.
We WILL hold them accountable for any illegal actions they undertake.
Know your rights.
Stay calm.
Stay vigilant.
Help your neighbors.
I’ll be sharing more updates as we learn more.
Here are some helpful resources👇
We’re hearing reports that DHS could launch increased immigration operations in Maine in the coming days.
I know people are scared. Please know I stand firmly with our immigrant communities.
We will NOT stand by as ICE, CBP, or any other agency terrorizes our communities and abducts our neighbors.
I’ve signed Articles of Impeachment to have Noem removed from office.
She's engaged in blatant self-dealing, unleashed violence on innocent people, and made a mockery of our Constitution.
Her lies, incompetence, and moral failings undermine the protections she swore to uphold.
Noem must go. NOW.
The same people now claiming Somalia is “safe” increased the State Department’s advisory to “Do Not Travel,” while barring immigration from Somalia over concerns about human trafficking, terrorism, and murder.
You can't have it both ways.
Let’s call this what it is: collective retribution.
This is so cruel and vindictive.
Trump's decision to revoke Temporary Protected Status from every Somali in the U.S. will put lives at risk, including here in Maine.
Doing this with no grace period or automatic extension means hundreds of thousands are now vulnerable to detention and removal.
Add this to the endless list of reasons why Noem should be removed from office—and why DHS needs to be dramatically reigned in.
Even if Noem has no idea what this means, the fact that *anyone* in the Admin would put a Nazi slogan on public display is incredibly alarming—and points to the moral rot at the heart of DHS.
They are using a NAZI SLOGAN to threaten anyone who dares to oppose their army of thugs.
Let that sink in.
2: the Admin continues to make completely backwards decisions that will have serious impacts on our health and our environment. The latest? the EPA won’t take human harm into consideration when setting air pollution limits. Corporate profits mean more to them than your kid’s health. Let that sink in
1: Kudos to Minnesota for suing ICE. That agent murdered a US citizen—a mother of 3–in cold blood. Their continued presence there and in our communities across the country are only fomenting fear and causing violence. Proud of my home state for standing up for their citizens.
About to head in for the first vote series of the week, but just a few quick thoughts on this nice night outside the Capitol.
Trump knows he's unpopular, and that a blue wave will mean real accountability. So he’s doing everything he can to prevent it.
When confronted with such blatant suppression, there’s only one thing to do: turn out in such unprecedented numbers that their attempts to game the system fail miserably.
