[Thread] Photos from the #PortlandME #April19th rally at #MonumentSquare. When we arrived at Noon, there was already a decent crowd. By the time we left at 1pm, more folks were streaming in (and it got a bit loud and overwhelming for me). But it was a good crowd, and we received lots of support from those driving by as well.

#PortlandME - '#DisruptBusinessAsUsual': 20 #ProPalestinian protesters arrested after blocking traffic
Anna Coon, WGME
Thu, May 22nd 2025 at 4:39 PMPORTLAND (WGME) – "Portland police arrested 20 people Wednesday during a protest in support of #Palestine.
"The protesters were blocking traffic on Commercial Street before police removed them from the area and opened the road back up to traffic.
" 'Free, free, free Palestine,' people chanted as a handcuffed protester was escorted away by police.
"But arrested protesters say it was their intention to be booked in jail Wednesday, and they say being taken away in handcuffs brings more attention to their cause.
" 'We have written our congressional representatives, we've called them, we've held rallies in the streets, we've done all kinds of things -- everything we can think of,' #MaineVoicesForPalestinianRights Chair #AbbyFuller said. 'And our government has not changed its policy of support for Israel.'
"Fuller helped organize Wednesday’s protest.
" 'Our intention yesterday was to disrupt business as usual,' Fuller said.
"Fuller and 19 others were arrested by Portland police Wednesday afternoon and brought to the Cumberland County Jail. All were charged with obstructing a public way after police gave multiple warnings that arrests were coming.
" 'If you refuse to move or leave you will be arrested, you may also be exposed to chemical agents,' police told protesters over a loudspeaker during Wednesday's protest.
"Two of the people taken into handcuffs are in their 80s, including #BobSchaible.
" 'I've never been arrested before,' Schaible said. 'I've never been put in the back of a police cruiser.'
"But Schaible and Fuller both say they'd do it all over again and want their arrests to inspire action to get #HumanitarianAid into #Gaza.
"This week, the Associated Press reported that expected aid was halted as Israeli strikes killed 86 people in Gaza. Aid groups warn that without supplies, tens of thousands of people, including children, could starve.
" 'Congress has to take a stand,' Schaible said. 'We want the Portland people, more of them, to know what is happening.'
"Fuller says protesters spent several hours in jail before they were released and says the group works with a pro bono lawyer who will represent them in court, for free."

#PortlandME #protesters arrested after blocking traffic to call for end of #Israel-#Gaza war
Maine Public | By Patty Wight
Published May 21, 2025"Portland police arrested more than a dozen [18, I heard] #activists Wednesday afternoon as they staged a so-called '#DieIn' to protest the ongoing war in Gaza and the lack of #HumanitarianAid for #Palestinians.
"The demonstrators were part of a larger group that blocked a four-way intersection on Commercial Street for roughly an hour. #KristenSalvatore was among those arrested after refusing to leave the street despite several warnings from police.
" 'Well nothing else seems to be working. We have to draw attention to this issue. People are going about their lives as if nothing is happening, as if their taxes aren't paying to blow up children and destroy Gaza,' Salvatore said.
"Abby Fuller of the #MaineCoalitionForPalestine said the effort is intended '#DisruptBusinessAs Usual.'
" 'To make sure that powerful people who can make a difference and change policies know that we are not willing to let business go on as usual. And we plan on staying in the street as long as we can and up until arrest,' she said.
"On Thursday, more than a dozen #Mainers will go on a 40-day #HungerStrike. They hope it will keep attention on Gaza and lead to congressional action.
"This week, leaders from the U.K., France and Canada issued a joint statement calling on the Israeli government to end its military operations in Gaza."

#PortlandME, 2 Maine counties named 'sanctuary jurisdictions' by Trump administration
Brad Rogers,WGMEFri, May 30th 2025 at 8:04 PM
Updated Fri, May 30th 2025 at 10:29 PMPORTLAND (WGME) -- "The Department of Homeland Security is putting more than 500 '#SanctuaryJurisdictions' across the country on notice.
"The Trump administration says cities and counties on the list are obstructing immigration enforcement and standing in the way of President Donald Trump's #MassDeportations.
"Portland, #CumberlandCounty and #HancockCounty made the list in #Maine.
"Cumberland County believes it made the list because it won't illegally hold detainees for ICE and won't do ICE's job.
"The Trump administration is increasing pressure on communities it claims are protecting people who they say are 'violent criminal illegal aliens.' " [You know, like trade workers and business owners!]

'I felt so powerless': Rally held in #PortlandME for 2 men being held by #ICE in #Maine
Stephanie Grindley,CBS13 I-Team
Fri, May 30th 2025 at 5:34 PMPORTLAND (WGME) -- "Two men, who had been working in Maine's trade industry, vanished Monday morning.
"They're allegedly now in the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.
"Their partners say it has been a nightmare to even nail down where they're held or why.
"Lucas Segobia and Marcos Henrique, both Brazilian nationals, were driving into Maine for work early Monday morning.
"Segobia’s fiancée, Laura Anderson, says she was on the phone with him when a Maine state trooper pulled them over at the #I95TollPlaza.
"The reason was an 'off-center' license plate.
Anderson says state police turned the men over to Border Patrol."
