Action 196 – ICE is coming! – Addendum

A message from the Hancock Country Democrats:

Action: More things you can do, thanks to Emanuel Pariser and others!

1. Take Maine’s ICE Watch Hotline Training: Get trained to field, verify, and document potential community ICE sightings and provide trusted, reliable information on ICE activity to immigrant communities.

2. Check out the following Instagram site: https://www.instagram.com/no.ice.for.me/

Learn more about this effort to reign in ICE.

3. Check out https://maineimmigrantrights.org/mirc-resource-hub/ There’s a hotline where you can report a sighting 207 544 9989

4. Call Senator King and ask him to filibuster the appropriations bill for ICE funding, working its way through the Senate. See: https://zeteo.com/p/will-democrats-vote-to-give-trump

5. When you call or write Janet Mills to demand that she protects her citizens, ask her to:

Direct the State Police to have a strong presence where ICE has deployed for the purpose of assuring legal behavior of ICE agents toward citizens and residents;

Deploy the Maine National Guard to restore civil order, if the State and local police prove inadequate for the task; and

Assert State protective custody of ICE detainees held in municipal and county jails until their legal status can be determined and adjudicated if necessary.

5. Contact your state rep and senator and demand that they introduce and/or support Maine legislation to require ICE and Border Patrol to have Masks Off and name badges on. More information here: https://joycevance.substack.com/p/should-ice-agents-be-able-to-wear/
