Three years ago, Maine was the first state in the nation to outlaw the use of sewage sludge on farmland. But PFAS had already seeped into drinking-water wells and crop roots, tainting vegetables, beef and milk. Sydney Cromwell reports via @insideclimatenews.org:
Maine Was First to Ban Spreading PFAS-Contaminated Sludge on Farmland. Now Sludge Is Filling up Landfills.
Well before the ban took effect, the “forever chemicals” linked to cancer, birth defects and other serious health problems had tainted drinking-water wells, vegetable roots, beef and milk in Maine.

NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.
