#NationalWeekendOfAction #ICEOutForGood

Sat-Sun Jan 10-11

"On Wednesday, January 7th, 2026, an American citizen was killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This killing is part of a broader pattern of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against members of our communities.

On this National Weekend of Action we stand to demand accountability, honor the life lost, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s actions."

Live updates: #Mainers rally across the state to protest #Trump policies

On Saturday, more than a dozen '#HandsOff' rallies were set to be held throughout Maine as part of a national day of action targeting the new Trump administration.

"On Saturday, more than a dozen rallies were set to be held throughout Maine as part of a national day of action to protest the policies of President Donald Trump.
The “Hands Off” rallies were scheduled from #WellsME to as far north as #LubecME. In Portland, protesters gathered in Monument Square at 11 a.m., while one of the day’s first protests began in Freeport just after 8 a.m.

"Portland police said they were aware of the Monument Square demonstration in advance and would 'be giving it special attention as we do all protests that we are aware of within the city,' department spokesperson Brad Nadeau said in an email Friday afternoon.

"Saturday’s protests were focused on President Donald Trump and billionaire adviser #ElonMusk’s efforts to cut the federal workforce through mass firings, rumored threats to safety-net programs like Social Security and Medicaid, and heightened action by immigration officers as part of a massive deportation effort.

"Though Saturday’s demonstrations were expected to be relatively large, Mainers have been taking to the streets for weeks. In addition to those protesting the federal government’s policies, hundreds have also called for Maine Gov. #JanetMills to relent following her high-profile clash with Trump."
