Maine Gov. Janet Mills is going up with the first TV ad of her Senate campaign that rebukes Trump’s immigration enforcement surge as “ridiculous, outrageous and unconstitutional,” Politico reports.

Applegrove:

Did the WH pull ICE out of Main because of the heightened profile Mills was getting by being the foil to ICE as Democratic Governor? Was this so she would not become more appealing to Mainers and make them proud on the national stage and win the Senate seat?
