While the investigation of the Biddeford shooting is not yet complete, it raises sufficient critical questions that I spoke with DHS Secretary Mullin last night and urged him to cease all non-urgent vehicle stops.

NBC News: ICE shooting in Maine sparks uproar and puts a spotlight on Republican Senator Susan Collins Democratic candidates for the expedited Senate primary are pointing to Collins’ vote to fund the deportation agency without policy changes, with some calling to “abolish” ICE. #MaineSenate nbcnews.com/politics/elect…

I spoke with DHS Secretary Mullin last night and urged him to cease all non-urgent vehicle stops in the wake of yesterday’s deadly Biddeford shooting. I am encouraged that the Department has agreed to do so. An impartial investigation into the shooting in Biddeford needs to proceed, as the details surrounding this tragedy are important. It is extremely unfortunate that the agent involved did not have a body-worn camera. In April, measures that I authored in the Homeland Security funding bill became law, including $20 million for expanded use of body-worn cameras, $2 million for de-escalation training, and a 17% increase in the independent Office of Inspector General’s budget to investigate matters such as this shooting. The Democratic government shutdown delayed enactment and implementation of these important safety measures. While it is clear ICE needs to improve its performance, it is important to remember that the work ICE does to protect our country goes far beyond immigration enforcement. ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) is tasked with combating cartels, human smuggling, child exploitation, forced labor, and more. Eliminating ICE would make our country less safe and endanger the lives and welfare of countless individuals.



ALERT: Live data showing that #GasPrices appear to be starting to rise to $3.69/gal in #Dallas and #FortWorth. Beware Houston, San Antonio, Austin, etc.



Biggest jump in average gas prices vs a week ago: Ohio +27c/gal Delaware +20c/gal New Mexico +20c/gal Indiana +19c/gal Iowa +18c/gal

NEWS: President Trump is planning to announce that Georgia's two senators, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, are illegitimate because of fraud, a well-placed source in Georgia tells us. Announcement could come as soon as tonight.


I've seen enough and believe the national average price of gasoline will again reach $4/gal in the next 7-10 days, if not sooner. oil now up nearly 10%- I'd expect price increases of 15-45c/gal (depending on price cycling state or not) in the next week or so.



The shooting in Biddeford requires a full and impartial investigation of what happened. It is my understanding that the Biddeford police have secured the site and that the FBI is investigating.
