ICE detained a Maine immigrant’s wife, then let him trade places
More than anywhere else in New England, lawyers say Maine has stood out for federal agents tracking down one category of law-abiding immigrants at homes and jobs.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

“Compotech” is a fake-sounding name for a company. Now I’m not suggesting it’s one of those CIA fronts, but I find it odd that the veep chose a small operation in a small city to make a stump speech. To be clear, I’m not making any accusations, but the name is like something from a cheap cartoon.
