Biddeford

The ordinance also bars the police department from transferring someone into ICE custody without a court order or judicial warrant.

Biddeford, Portland, Lewiston, and other municipalities have passed similar measures mirroring statewide limits on ice cooperation approved by the legislature earlier this year.

The federal government is granting $8 million to the Portland Water District in the second phase of an effort to sustain water quality and improve aquatic habitat in the Sebago Lake watershed.

The new funding will pay for conservation easements on 2,000 acres and for management of 4,000 acres of forests that help filter water before it reaches the watershed.

And I kind of was like, I don't think you can use opioid settlement money to open up a warming shelter.

And that was going to be a deal with Preble Street at Elena's Way and Seeds of Hope out of Biddeford.

And now they are pulling a fast one here, and they're not going to do it in Elena's way.

They're going to do it where they did the migrant shelter, and now they want to use $900,000 of OIP settlement money.

And I also think another big thing is, you know, her unwillingness to hold ICE accountable for, you know, what's happened across this country.

And, you know, having Yohan Sebastian Guerrero be murdered in Biddeford, you know, people want to.

someone that's going to stand up for everyday people and push back against Donald Trump.

But I'll also say the other thing is that people in this state are talking about our democracy getting lost.

Bernie headlined that same 6,500-person rally for him and Plattner on Labor Day.

Bernie went back to Maine just recently for three more rallies in Bangor, Lewiston, and Biddeford.

Our Revolution, which is Bernie's organization, backed him.

Ro Khanna, out of California, endorsed him.

under the heading Abolish ICE.

And then he went further.

In July, an ICE agent in Biddeford shot and killed a 25-year-old Colombian national named Johann Sebastian Duran Guerrero while he was behind the wheel of his car.

The man had a final order of removal.

Like there is no there is no separating Maine from the rest of the country.

When you have ice killing people in Biddeford, you have home heating oil prices skyrocketing.

You have a tariff war that's affecting Mainers like you can't set Maine aside anymore.

Maine is at the center of all the disastrous national policies enacted by Republicans and the president.

Or how about the crowds in Cobb County, Georgia that same day? Local outlets report that 1,500 people turned out to see Senator Jon Ossoff and candidate for governor Keisha Lance Bottoms at that event.

Also this weekend, over 1,000 people reportedly turned out in tiny Biddeford, Maine to see Senate candidate Troy Jackson as he campaigned with the Dropkick Monkey, Mu- Murphys.

Now, there, there was also this event last weekend, where Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reportedly turned out more than 1,200 people in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, which is considered to be a Republican stronghold, of course.

All across the country, people are showing up in big, big crowds to hear from Democratic candidates ahead of the election.
