Last week, true to his promise of a sweep to remove foreign criminals from US soil, a complex and important task, President Trump green-lighted an ICE operation called “Tidal Wave” – removing hundreds of dangerous foreign criminals from Florida. Mr. President – Please send ICE to Maine.
This request may appear backburner, as Maine is a small state led by a belligerent, out-of-touch governor and Democrat majority, but we are overwhelmed by foreign drugs and traffickers of all kinds, Dominican, Chinese, and Mexican. Without federal law enforcement, we are sliding toward chaos – or to borrow from the Bible and Robert Bork, “slouching toward Gomorrah.”
Last week, we had another takedown of a Dominican trafficking group, this one in a small town of 6,000, Fairfield. Not part of the dominant “Trinatarios,” found across Maine now, and tied to fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, break-ins, assaults, murder, and child recruiting – this node was new.
In the house – and ironically, Mainers have too few homes – traffickers had tens of thousands in cash, enough fentanyl to kill 185,000 Mainers, $40,000 in crack-cocaine, and chloroform.
Chloroform is used to kidnap girls for sex trafficking. Often connected to drug abuse, this growing concern in Maine is real and must be stopped. Last month, a conviction was secured by the US Attorney in Portland for a sex trafficking group, but for every win, there are countless uncaught.
Federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) made that conviction possible, citing “horrific violence inflicted upon women…difficult to comprehend.” Until recent years, Maine – where I grew up, a state of only 1.4 million – was safe and simple, honest and hard-working.
Today, these traffickers in drugs and humans, aided by a derelict Democrat governor and majority tone deaf or convinced alien votes matter more than citizen safety – continue to invite these illegal foreign forces into our state, turning a blind eye to the tragedy they have created for normal citizens.
Because of Maine’s Democrats, we now have 5,000 illegal aliens in the state, and Janet Mills and her progressive party want another 75,000. This is not sustainable, normal, legal, or safe. It must stop.
At the same time, hundreds of illegal Chinese “grow houses” are populated by Chinese non-citizens, fraudulently here on fake student visas or just illegal border jumpers. They do not speak English, are predominantly male, and traffic in fentanyl and illegal marijuana. They are a scourge.
So, here we are – the highest number of overdoses ever recorded in Maine, 10,000 last year, illegals in homes Mainers should have, hundreds of illegals in “grow houses” and distributing high potency drugs, some given two-year housing in places like Brunswick, once meant to house veterans.
They are then given EBT (electronic benefit transfer) cards for millions in hard-earned Maine dollars, which Democrats know are regularly used to swap for drugs, reinforcing the whole spiral in Maine. These illegal aliens, who Janet Mills and her Democrats know undermine public safety, must go.
Mr. President, you accurately “called out” Maine’s anti-constitutional, anti-public safety, bellicose, and insufferable governor. Thank you. Now, in the name of all that is good for the people of Maine, to protect our girls, towns, homes, and state, please send ICE to Maine. We need an ICE “Tidal Wave” – right here.
