These organizations were given no-bid contracts and huge amounts of Medicaid money at the same time that they turned their offices into de facto arms of the main Democratic Party right before the 2022 election when Governor Janet Mills squared off against Republican Governor Paul LePage.

So they have effectively used taxpayer money to build this elaborate campaign machinery, and it all orbits the migrant industrial complex.

So the Democrats really have taken the migrant diaspora, particularly the Somali diaspora, and they've used it as a reason to pump taxpayer money to achieve their own political ends.

And they're not being particularly stealthy about it, but if you look back at the history of the expansion of the Medicaid program,

This is a plan that's been in works for at least 10 years.

Some of the most radical left-wing groups in this state have funded ballot referendum campaigns to expand the very Medicaid programs that we now find systemically abused by Somali-run Medicaid agencies.

It was a long, long-term plan, and it's coming to fruition, and we're glad to be able to be here to put a spotlight on it.

Yes, that's one thing I would say is the difference between Minneapolis and Maine is that poll after poll done by some of the, even the left-wing newspapers have found 80, 85% of Mainers support what ICE is doing here.

It's a tiny, tiny radical fringe who are very loud on Reddit.

They're loud online.

but it's only a tiny minority of people who oppose what's happening here.

And they're having a great deal of difficulty countering ICE in Maine because it's such a distributed state and their actions are so targeted and so quick.

And they've learned quite a few lessons from Minneapolis.

So I don't think that you're going to see the same level of conflict that you've seen in Minneapolis.

And I mean, the video that we have, I've posted online and I tagged you guys on X. There are some locals who lent a four wheeler to ICE agents and pointed the way toward some fleeing illegal aliens.

So the people of Maine support this.

The people of Maine are not like the left-wing city slickers in Minneapolis.

And I think I agree with your sentiments earlier that it would be a grave mistake for the Trump administration or for the lily-livered Republicans in the Senate to back down because there's a little bit of negative press.

This is a wildly successful operation that President Trump is undertaking.

It's going to be more successful as time goes on.
