And then to see even before noon that same day, we had hundreds of people in small town Maine out at the downtown park and then flooding into Susan Collins' office and flooding into their own city hall.
And there was then supposed to be a vigil being held that night at seven o'clock.
Well, the noon thing never ended.
It just got larger and larger and larger all day long until seven o'clock.
And then it carried on until the next day.
And I
I feel like all I've done with this story is kind of just observe what's happening here.
But I think it's really, really important to know that part of the news of what's happening in this era of the Trump administration is not just what Trump and Mark Wayne Mullen and all the rest of them are doing in terms of immigration enforcement and this is how they're doing it.
It's how the American people feel about it and how they're willing to react and how they instinctively react with just revulsion and rejection of this.
There's no constituency for what they're doing here.
And I think they think they can keep doing it because maybe the MAGA base will rally to them for killing people like this in the streets, but it's not happening and the people are against them.
And I feel like some of the national discussion around this, some of the kind of like DC-focused media discussion about this is about how it's so interesting that Mark Wayne Mullen doesn't want the Department of Homeland Security and ICE to get the same kind of headlines that they were getting under Kristi Noem.
He wants it to be quieter, as if this was a press problem, right?
As if this was a publicity problem.
No, if you've got...
untrained, newly hired, totally unaccountable, totally incompetent, poorly led, gung-ho paramilitary forces who don't identify themselves and have no chain of command in terms of what happens when something goes wrong, if you have them conducting 2,000 arrests a day,
Good or bad press about that is immaterial.
People are gonna end up dying because of their bad actions.
And I mean, even before the situation in Maine, obviously we had the killing during another stop in Houston, as you said, but last week in Detroit, the Detroit City Council came out and said, please, can we stop having these totally off the hook, reckless high-speed car chases in residential neighborhoods after multiple buildings in Detroit were smashed into by cars involving
cars involved in these high-speed chases, for which all accounts are ICE agents are not trained.
