Maine Democrat Rep From Topsham Delivers False Graffiti-Arrest Threat At Biddeford Anti-ICE Rally

News - The Maine Wire
Biddeford Police are denying they’ll arrest protestors writing anti-ICE messages on public buildings with chalk, contrary to a Democrat state rep’s claim.
Maine State Rep. Rafael Macias, D-Topsham, who traveled to Biddeford for an anti-ICE rally Saturday, told an assembled crowd through a bullhorn, “They said they will arrest people for chalk but they won’t arrest anyone for murder.”
Biddeford Buzz, which covered the rally, reports that police officials said they will not be making chalking arrests.
The rally by the Maine People’s Alliance was designed to “spread awareness of the consequences ICE has had on our neighbors,” the alliance said.
They later acknowledged that the man they killed was not the suspect they were looking for.
