- Two women from Maine are suing the Department of Homeland Security after being told they would be added to a "domestic terrorists" list for recording the activities of federal immigration agents. As Kevin Miller reports, the women claim agents engaged in unconstitutional surveillance and intimidation while they were exercising their First Amendment rights.
According the lawsuit filed Monday in federal court, the two Portland residents were lawfully observing and recording federal immigration agents during separate incidents last month. They allege that, in each incident, masked and unidentified agents responded by USING PHONES TO scan their faces and license plates .
The lawsuit filed by the group Protect Democracy claims that one agent told Hilton that if she kept quote "coming to things like this, you are going to be on a domestic terrorist watchlist. Then we're going to come to our house later tonight." The court filing alleges that an officer similarly tol...

- Several tribal leaders confirmed that negotiations have been underway since November. Those talks already produced one breakthrough in a sometimes rocky relationship between Governor Janet Mills and the tribes. In January she allowed a bill to become law that gives them exclusive rights to operate internet gambling in Maine.
The move won her effusive praise from leaders of the Passamaquoddy Tribe, who wrote a recent opinion column in the Portland Press Herald crediting the governor for improving tribal relations. They specifically cited the internet gambling bill.
The column also contained a veiled reference to a separate column by Donna Loring, a Penobscot tribal elder who briefly served as the governor's tribal relations liaison during her first term. Loring was critical of the internet gaming deal, describing it as a "transaction" with the governor that traded sovereignty for the tribes' long sought quest for gambling rights that have been effectively block...

Liam Riordan, a history professor at the University of Maine, said the language was edited by the Continental Congress and agreed to on July 4, 1776.
“When they’ve got the text decided upon, they rush it to a Philadelphia printer, Robert Dunlap,” Riordan said Friday on Maine Calling. “He prints it through the night.

Her ability to remain in the U.S. is still in question. She said she has an appointment at the ICE office in Scarborough next week, and isn't sure what to expect.

A growing number of videos purporting to show arrests in Lewiston and Greater Portland have cropped up in the last two days on social media as residents decry tactics used by ICE officials, who have a field office set up in Scarborough, Maine.
At a press conference in Portland on Thursday, Gov. Janet Mills said she isn't seeing evidence from the Department of Homeland Security that federal agents are focused on arresting people with criminal records in Maine.
Meanwhile local officials in Portland, Lewiston and Westbrook have condemned the operation and say they are not receiving direct communication from ICE or other federal agencies.
