Maine Senate Democrats Back Abolishing ICE After 1 Fatal Shooting

Summary
Maine’s leading Democratic Senate candidates have united behind abolishing ICE after a federal immigration officer fatally shot a man in the state this week.
The shift moves a once-fringe immigration stance into the center of the primary as candidates try to present themselves as combative successors to Democratic nominee Graham Platner.
The fatal shooting has become the immediate catalyst for the new position, tying the race more directly to federal immigration enforcement and its political fallout in Maine.
