SUSAN COLLINS, unlike Murkowski, isn’t calling on Noem to step down. When asked, Collins says: “I have urged her to have a pause in both Minnesota and Maine on this surge of enforcement.”
MURKOWSKI tells me Kristi Noem should step down: “Yes, she should go.”

We profiled refugees who:
Arrived in the country legally.
Applied for green cards.
Were arrested by ICE and detained.
One refugee who was arrested found out they got their green card after being released.
This is an unprecedented operation.

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.
