MVDC Actions - Week of 02/01/2026
Support for Maine Families Impacted by ICE
'We're being terrorized.'
What Mainers are seeing as ICE launches operation in the state - PBS 1/23/26
While MN is getting a lot more press, there is ICE activity much closer to home. Although NH isn't immune, things are worse in neighboring Maine. Portland and Lewiston are both reporting that legal immigrants are afraid to leave their homes. Many of those who have been detained are here legally. There are many groups providing support to those sheltering in place.
"ICE agents arrived in Maine this week, and one took pictures of a legal observer’s car, prompting her to remind him that it is legal to record their actions and to ask why he was taking her information. He answered: “‘Cause we have a nice little database and now you’re considered a domestic terrorist.” From Heather Cox Richardson’s 1/24/2026 Newsletter
If you're able to help, Portland volunteers suggest donating to these 3 organizations that are providing food and other necessities for these families. Note that your donation is intended to support immigrant families or others at risk due to the ICE operation.

Federal Actions You Can Take
From our friends at:
Urge Reps. Pappas and Goodlander to Oppose the MEGA Act (Make Elections Great Again Act)
On January 29, House Republicans unveiled their latest attempt to suppress the vote, the Make Elections Great Again Act (MEGA). This legislation would be even more sweeping than the SAVE Act, which focuses mainly on requiring voters to produce documentary proof of citizenship when registering. It would:
Impose a strict photo ID requirement to vote,
create a centralized voter surveillance system in every state,
mandate constant voter roll purges, gutting the “Motor Voter” law that expanded access to voter registration,
bar states from counting ballots that arrive after Election Day,
ban universal mail voting, in which states mail a ballot to all registered voters,
bar the federal funding for voter registration by outside groups,
and unleash lawsuits against election officials. (Democracy Docket)
Taken together, these provisions would block eligible voters, override states’ authority to run their own elections, and further undermine trust in our democracy—all based on false claims of widespread voter fraud.
Click to email your Member of Congress and urge them to oppose the MEGA Act.
