About this episode

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree discusses the implications of a botched ICE raid in Maine and its effects on local communities and politics.

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-ME) joins Find Out to break down the ICE shooting in Biddeford — a botched raid that left the wrong man dead in front of his family, despite him working here legally. She lays out what her office knows about the investigation, the administration's stonewalling on basic details like body cameras, and how expanded ICE quotas are terrorizing Maine's immigrant communities and costing local economies. The conversation also covers hospital closures tied to GOP Medicaid cuts, the chaotic process to replace Graham Platner as Maine's Senate nominee against Susan Collins, and why even lifelong Republicans in her district are fed up. If you've been wondering how a "boring" state like Maine became a flashpoint this year, this episode lays it all out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
