Maine and NH Get ICE‑Raided for Daring to Embarrass Baron von Big Mac

The ICEstapo rolled into Maine and New Hampshire this week like they were storming cartel compounds, except instead of cartel compounds they found blueberry farms, diners, and two of the lowest‑immigrant‑population states in the entire country. It would almost be funny if it weren’t so nakedly authoritarian. These raids have nothing to do with immigration enforcement and everything to do with Baron von Big Mac’s ongoing revenge tour — a petty, cross‑country tantrum aimed squarely at the states that refuse to bow, scrape, and pretend he’s the law incarnate.

And the numbers make the whole charade even more insulting. If this were truly about “where the undocumented immigrants are,” the ICEstapo would be permanently headquartered in the deep‑red states that actually hold the largest undocumented populations. Texas alone has an estimated 1.6 million undocumented immigrants, Florida has 900,000, Arizona has 250,000, Georgia has 350,000, and North Carolina has 325,000. These are not small figures; these are massive, structural populations that dwarf anything in New England. Even states like Tennessee, South Carolina, and Alabama — all ruby red — have far more undocumented residents than anything north of Boston. Meanwhile, Maine and New Hampshire sit in the “less than 50,000” tier — the lowest bracket in the country, the statistical equivalent of background noise compared to the megastates screaming about “illegals” while quietly housing hundreds of thousands of them.

So why are federal agents in tactical gear patrolling Portland, Lewiston, Bangor, Manchester, and Nashua instead of Houston, Miami, Phoenix, or Atlanta? Because this isn’t enforcement. It’s punishment. It’s political theater. It’s the federal government being wielded like a cudgel against the disobedient.

And Maine’s “crime” was very public.

Just weeks ago, Governor Janet Mills stood in the White House and delivered the kind of calm, lawful, adult sentence that sends Baron von Big Mac into a frothing rage: “We’ll follow the law.” That alone would have been enough to set him off, but then came his retort — a line so embarrassingly self‑parodic it should have come with a cape and a plastic crown: “I am the law.” Mills didn’t blink. She didn’t grovel. She didn’t perform the ritual submission he demands from every governor within a 500‑mile radius. She simply said, “Then we’ll see you in court.” And that was it. Maine was marked. Maine was added to the enemies list. Maine was guaranteed a visit from the ICEstapo, not because of immigration, but because a Democratic woman embarrassed him on camera.

New Hampshire’s inclusion is just as transparent. The Live Free or Die State has been drifting blue, refusing to play the role of obedient satellite, and that alone is enough to earn a federal show of force. Never mind that New Hampshire’s undocumented population is so small it barely registers on national charts. Never mind that the state has no border, no major immigrant hubs, and no statistical justification for a militarized sweep. What matters is that it’s a blue‑leaning state that doesn’t clap on command.

The administration keeps insisting that “blue states are harboring dangerous illegals,” but the data laughs in their faces. If “dangerous illegals” were the priority, Texas and Florida would be under permanent federal lockdown. Arizona would have ICE checkpoints every five miles. Georgia and North Carolina would be crawling with agents. But those states are run by loyalists who clap when he claps and bark when he barks. They don’t get punished — they get rewarded. Maine and New Hampshire, on the other hand, get treated like rogue provinces in need of correction.

The danger here isn’t the handful of undocumented workers picking blueberries in Maine or bussing tables in Portsmouth. The danger is a president using federal law enforcement as a personal revenge squad. The danger is normalizing the idea that the executive branch can deploy militarized agents to any city that displeases him. The danger is letting this become the new American tradition — where elections don’t just determine policy, but determine who gets targeted by the state.

Maine and New Hampshire are not immigration hotspots. They are not border states. They are not crime centers. They are simply blue enough to be punished and small enough to be bullied. This is the revenge tour. This is the ICEstapo. This is the weaponization of the federal government against American communities. And it is, in every sense of the word, UNFUGGINBELIEVABLE.
