Here Collins says Noem is asking HER for information about detained constituents! Collins should be demanding Noem provide the list of every detainee and the evidence they were detained on. #mepolitics

Derek was visibly shaken when he told me this story of seeing ICE go after a black woman in a car with her toddler.
"Immigrants are our union brothers & sisters. We all work side by side with these folks & we’ve come to know them & love them & all of a sudden they’re in fear of coming to work."

Union Carpenter Derek Ellis of Skowhegan was down the street from his job site in Portland when he saw ICE agents shout at a woman to "get the hell out" of her car. As they tore her out of her car, she screamed "I'm a US citizen! I'm a citizen!" as her small child in a carseat cried hysterically.

Here Susan Collins admits ICE is targeting the “wrong people,” including people with permission to remain in the US. But she also has “great respect” for them and she thinks the solution is to implement reforms that will do nothing about targeting #mepolitics

Democrats and like-minded individuals must unite in the fight against Collins and this administration. Our communities simply cannot afford to have fractured leadership right now. Continue calling your elected officials. And continue helping your local communities any way you can. Every bit helps.

It's not immigrants who've been screwing us in Maine. It's corporations like CSX, scumbag CEOs like Steve Angel, and investment firms like Ancora Holdings.
These leeches won't hesitate to sabotage Mainers' lives so millionaire investors see fatter returns.
Want someone to blame? Start with them.

I don't know how we've reached a time when Mainers cannot count on politicians to show up in their communities and openly and honestly answer questions. Our campaign is doing things differently because I'd actually like to hear from you.
