    PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — "Maine’s Republican nominee for governor recently told a crowd of supporters that he would ask a top Department of Homeland Security official to send U.S. Marshals and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to polling places in the state for this fall’s midterm elections, according to audio obtained by The Associated Press.

    "During an Aug. 20 event in Arundel, Bobby Charles told a group of supporters that he would ask #TomHoman, the White House #BorderCzar, to send federal agents to polling places in the weeks before #ElectionDay. The audio was first reported by the Bangor Daily News.

    " 'Here’s my secret,; Charles told members of a Maine Young Republicans chapter. 'I have a friend named Tom Homan. Tom and I used to get on Fox all the time together. Tom’s an awesome guy.'

    " 'I’m going to ask Tom, I’m going to actually — three or four weeks before the election, maybe three — I’m going to make an appeal for ICE and #USMarshals to be at our voting booths,' Charles said, according to the audio."

  2. #DemocracyNow: #NewYork Mayor Eric Adams Orders #RikersJail to Reopen ICE Office

    Headline, Apr 09, 2025

    "Here in New York, Mayor #EricAdams is reopening an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office inside the #RikersIsland jail complex. Adams first signaled the move after he met with Trump’s so-called border czar #TomHoman in February. The #NewYorkCivilLibertiesUnion slammed the Adams administration for 'selling out New Yorkers for Trump’s dangerous deportation regime.' The group said in a statement, '#ICE’s presence on Rikers serves no legitimate purpose, and opens the door to unlawful collusion between local law enforcement and federal immigration officials in violation of our city’s well-established sanctuary protections. … New Yorkers see this for what it is: Mayor Adams skirting the City Council, cozying up to Trump, and putting immigrant New Yorkers in harm’s way.'"
