Graham Platner Solicits Donations for Maine Anti-ICE Group Led By Accused Somali Fraudsters
Senate candidate Graham Platner (D., Maine) urged supporters to donate to an anti-ICE group led by several Somalis tied to a nonprofit under congressional investigation for allegedly defrauding the state of millions of dollars in Medicaid payments. The day after ICE launched a statewide operation targeting illegal aliens in Maine, Platner promoted the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition (MIRC), a taxpayer-funded nonprofit that touted its “ICE Watch Hotline” earlier this month. Its board has included Deqa Dhalac and Nathan Davis, who have been named persons of interest in a congressional probe over their leadership roles at Gateway Community Services Maine.

‘State-of-the-art’: GOP congressman pre-empts Crockett’s ‘grandstanding’ with glimpse inside ICE facility in Texas
A Republican congressman from Texas pre-empted criticism from Democrats on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in his district after Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) announced that she would visit to oversee operations.
Crockett said the Dilley Detention Center near San Antonio was in her crosshairs after reports indicated that a 5-year-old was being sent to the facility after being used as “bait” by ICE agents.
‘Democrats are doing everything they can to spin the truth against law enforcement.’
The Department of Homeland Security has vehemently denied the claims and said that the boy had been protected by agents after his father fled from an immigration enforcement operation. An attorney for the family said the boy’s father had a pending asylum claim, but Vice President JD Vance contradicted that claim and said he was an illegal alien.
Democrats have used the media framing of the issue to hammer away at the administration.
“I am aware of reports that this precious 5-year old, Liam Ramos, who was kidnapped by ICE as he returned home from preschool in Minneapolis may be in San Antonio, Texas,” wrote Crockett Friday on her social media account.
“I will be visiting the Dilley Detention Center in San Antonio next week to conduct oversight and will demand answers on the whereabouts and well-being of Liam. If it were up to me, we’d be at the Dilley Detention Center RIGHT NOW getting answers. But let’s be clear about what’s really happening here: The Trump Administration is illegally blocking Members of Congress from conducting lawful oversight,” she added.
“We have an absolute right — under federal law and the Constitution — to enter detention facilities, unannounced, to ensure the safety and well-being of people in government custody,” Crockett continued. “I am outraged. My heart aches for Liam’s family. We will get answers.”
Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas posted a video of the facility to undermine any possible suggestion from Crockett that Ramos might be maltreated.
“In the coming days, you’ll see a lot of grandstanding by politicians at the Dilley ICE Center in my district, #TX23. It’s all for show,” he wrote on social media.
“I’ve been there & seen the state-of-the-art facilities & protocols that @ICEgov follows,” he added. “Our ICE agents & CBP personnel are doing their jobs, & yet again, Democrats are doing everything they can to spin the truth against law enforcement.”

Among those on the left who have pounced on the story is failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
“Enforcing the law is one thing. Terrorizing a population, using children as pawns, is another. My heart aches for Liam Ramos and his family,” she wrote.
Clinton and her husband could face contempt of Congress charges after refusing a subpoena related to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

‘Such an a**hole’: Mamdani rejects kids’ snow day despite brutal snowy forecast — and the backlash is fierce
Newly inaugurated New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing some criticism for saying he would not declare a snow day for children during a bitter winter snowstorm.
Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency for the entire state of New York on Friday, but the mayor said that students would be required to have online learning rather than a free day.
‘F**k him my kid will not be remote learning he will be building a snow man and some sleigh riding.’
“I know to the disappointment of any student that’s watching this right now, Monday is either going to be a remote learning day or it’s going to be an in-person school day,” Mamdani said Friday.
“It’s not going to be a traditional snow day. That is a determination we’ve made,” he added.
Forecasts say the city could be hit with as much as 18 inches of snow through the weekend, along with very cold temperatures.
Critics online responded with disapproval of the decision.
“I like this mayor but I do not like this! Give the kids a snow day!” said Cristóbal Alex of MSNBC.
“Snow days are an American pastime/tradition of happiness. So out of principle, he despises it and has to do the opposite,” read another response.
“Mamdani had an equity-focused agenda, but this is not equitable. Don’t forget too, the research has shown that students didn’t learn as much during virtual learning. This is just a wasted day that counts,” said another user.
“F**k him my kid will not be remote learning he will be building a snow man and some sleigh riding,” replied another critic.
“Mamdani is such an a**hole. No snow days?” read another.
“The forecasts don’t always get it right, but what is being predicted right now, whether it’s a foot of snow or even a little bit more, would be one of the biggest snowfalls that our city has seen in years,” continued Mamdani.
“Either late tomorrow evening or early Sunday morning, we are going to see snow start to begin to fall across our city,” he added. “It will fall and fall and then fall some more.”
