(3,448 posts)I just picked Shah at random to see if it was vague doubletalk or real plans. Here is an AI summary. If this s accurate, it sounds like pretty solid, tanglble, concrete thinking to me. I'm not backing him, just exploring the amplitude of his passion.
=======
Agency Reform & Dissolution: Shah has stated that in its current form, ICE "cannot continue to exist". Following a fatal July 2026 ICE shooting in Biddeford, Maine, he demanded immediate agency reforms or a complete dissolution/transfer of its duties. He has even expressed willingness to vote to shut down the government to enforce ICE reforms.
State-Level Crackdown on Abuse: At the state level, Shah proposes legislation to explicitly require all law enforcement officers operating in Maine to wear ID badges and active body cameras while banning the use of masks.
Ending State Cooperation: His plan pushes to strengthen Maines limited-cooperation law so that state assets and resources cannot be utilized as a "force multiplier" for federal immigration activities.
Accountability Metrics: He supports legislation that would make it easier for law enforcement to be held civilly liable in Maine courts when they violate rules, while also implementing strict minimum training and first-aid mandates.
