Lewiston, Maine (population approximately 37,000) is the next target for ICE's goons. Reportedly, Portland and Lewiston are home to Maine's largest Somali communities. Guess the goon squad hopes for better results (less push back) in Maine than they've had in Minnesota.

Which brings up the old warning: Be careful what you wish for!
