Immigration Crackdown, Maine Edition: A new report says U.S. border-surveillance tools bought for immigration enforcement were used against American citizens—including a Maine resident who recorded agents in public and was later visited with a “warning” that authorities knew where she lived. Maine Remembers Gerald Talbot: Mainers are also mourning Gerald E. Talbot, the state’s first Black lawmaker and a civil-rights leader who marched in Selma and helped build Portland’s NAACP. Election Season, On the Ground: Early in-person absentee voting is underway, with clerks expecting turnout to pick up as June primaries near. Campaign Heat in Maine: The race for Susan Collins’ Senate seat keeps generating national attention, from scrutiny over candidate controversies to fresh reporting on how money and messaging are colliding. Community Culture: Harbor Theater in Boothbay Harbor is a finalist for “best movie theater,” and tickets are now on sale for Newport’s 30th annual Flower Show at Rosecliff.
