"The money began to arrive in earnest in 2021, thanks to the largesse of groups connected with two of the country’s most powerful right-wing donors: Leonard Leo and Thomas D. Klingenstein. Leo, a longtime vacationer in Maine, moved to the state in 2020, and his fingerprints could soon be found on various political campaigns and causes."

"It’s no accident that the events playing out in Maine resemble the playbook used to justify the federal crackdown in Minnesota, according to Graham Platner, a U.S. Senate candidate running against Mills for the Democratic nomination.
'This is a nationwide project. This is directly connected to the story in Minnesota to demonize Somali communities, which brought about ICE raids there,' Platner told The Intercept."

"That month, the Maine Wire published at least 31 articles that included the word “Somali” and kept it up with at least 26 in January, at least 14 in February, and at least nine in March. Robinson published still more stories about the issue on his Substack, dubbed The Robinson Report."

"Beginning in December, as right-wing audiences frothed over the viral Nick Shirley video in Minnesota, The Maine Wire leapt into action. Its journalists dusted off earlier reporting to suggest the existence of a sprawling conspiracy of Medicaid fraud, protected by a sordid alliance between Democratic political elites and allegedly corrupt Somali-run nonprofits and health care providers."

"But as the U.S. right took a hard nativist turn — and amid an infusion of cash from some of the most powerful right-wing money men in the country — the site developed a fixation on Maine’s Somali community, a highly visible immigrant population in a state that’s over 90 percent white."

"As the deadly federal immigration crackdown fueled by a racist obsession with Somali people kicked into high gear in Minnesota, a right-wing local news site in Maine had a clear message: Bring the chaos here.
The Maine Wire launched in 2011, and for the next decade most of its output was standard libertarian fare."

"Donald Trump’s disgusting racism is the cover for his gross incompetence. The racism is what he uses to convince his supporters to ignore his pathetic job performance.
And it works. Trump is objectively bad at running the government, but he’s objectively good at running a Klan rally, and his supporters value the latter so much that they forgive the former."

"Trump: 'In Minnesota, it's very Somalia-oriented. These people come from a crooked country, disgusting country, one of the worst countries in the world. They come to our country -- low IQs -- and they rob us blind. Stupid people, and they rob us blind.'"
~ Aaron Rupar
Trump's confidence that he has "good genes" and a stellar IQ will never cease to amaze me. No mirrors in his house?

During his speech, #Trump made numerous disparaging remarks about #immigrants, including #Somalis, & also falsely claimed that noncitizens have been widely voting in US #elections.
Sen #AlexPadilla repeatedly attacked Trump’s #immigration policies & noted that since Trump took office last year, 40 people have died in #ICE custody.

"Each time, an ICE agent claimed he looked like someone they’d flagged as being in the country illegally. They searched his car even after he produced papers; he now doesn’t drive without them. In one instance, he was held for 40 minutes before they let him go. In another, a customer sat in the backseat as the interrogation took place."

"While the Trump administration has since drawn down its deployment of agents to Minneapolis, the people who live here don’t feel as though things have changed. One Uber driver I spoke to—a Somali American with U.S. citizenship—said he’d been pulled over three times since the killing [of Alex Pretti]."

Feb 13, 2026Despite sub-zero conditions, the crowd gathered for the state’s first large-scale #ICE protest, an “ICE THEM OUT” rally. That week, masked federal agents launched “Operation Catch of the Day,” a mass #deportation campaign aimed at the nearly 6,000 #Somalis who live in #Maine. By operation’s end, the administration claimed to arrest over 200 “#immigrant offenders.” Many of these Mainers are now being held at a Massachusetts facility attorneys found to have “inhumane” conditions.
The Lewiston event featured many of the state’s prominent #Democratic politicians.
Gov. Mills was notably absent.
“Governor Mills did not reach out to me, or to the organizing team ahead of the January 24 rally"...said Safiya Khalid.

"The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals allowed President Trump to proceed with ending deportation protections for more than 60,000 migrants from Nepal, Honduras and Nicaragua, when it stayed a lower court ruling that had blocked the deportations."

"The Trump administration’s immigration courts suddenly began fast-tracking dozens of cases by Somalis seeking asylum in what their lawyers fear is a coordinated effort to deny them asylum and deport them without due process, NPR reports."

"While the cases will still be heard in Kansas City, this new judge will preside via video conference from Louisiana. According to Happock, other immigration lawyers representing Somalis have had their cases reassigned to the same judge on the same day.
The judge who will now be hearing these cases involving Somali migrants is Sherron Ashworth, Popular Information has learned."

The White House did not answer questions about why the admin initially defended the video, or why it remained up on Trump’s account for 12 hours. Even if a staffer did post the #Obama video [it was Trump], its message is resonant with the president’s past statements & actions. #Trump has called #Somalis “low-IQ,” & his admin recently announced rules that will ban nearly 90% of #African immigrant #visa applicants [unless they’re white South Africans, then they get priority status].

Among #Somalis in #Minnesota, “92% of them don’t #work.” -
"Trump sicced his droogs on Minneapolis because he’s a racist who hates Somalis, and his lawless campaign has spread to Maine, of all places, because it’s another state with a Somali population whose voters rejected him in 2024."

"You know, some joker in the Bush administration thought, let's send the Somalis to the coldest part of the country. And so there are big Somali communities in Minnesota and in Maine, too. And that may be why there's news that ICE will be deployed immediately. into Maine."
-
"But mainly because Maine has something notable in common with Minnesota. Can you guess? Yep: a sizeable Somali population."
