Senator Angus King and Portland Mayor Mark Dion address ICE activity in Maine

Published | Video Starts at 11:05

What I have been hearing is there is terrorizing of American citizens going on, but it's by ice, not by the people that they are arresting, who are allegedly the worst of the worst. The level of anxiety in this community and in Lewiston and Biddeford is rising. We are not anywhere near what's been going on in Minneapolis. We hope that doesn't occur here. But I think ICE owes us some information. They've said that there are 1400 targets in Maine. (11:05–11:11)
