Former Maine councilor gives impassioned speech opposing city blocking cooperation with ICE
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A former Maine city councilman gave an impassioned speech during a meeting Tuesday in opposition to an emergency ordinance prohibiting city workers from cooperating with federal immigration authorities, which passed anyway.
Former Lewiston City Councilor Tim Gallant spoke during a public comment period on the measure, which passed in a 5-2 vote.
The City Council heard from both supporters and opponents of the ordinance, which blocks city employees, including police, from working with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“My biggest problem with all this is you’re trying to support 10% of the city by the census in 2025,” Gallant said. “What about the other 90%? What are you doing for them?
“How many gunshot issues have we had since ICE came to town? How about zero?” he added. “Look at the police blotter. Zero. When’s the last time we had three or four months of zero problems? But that doesn’t count. That’s not a crime problem, obviously, to the mayor.”

Matt Kershaw, a Marine veteran, said he supports the ordinance, calling it a responsible move.
“We had to lock the doors in our church because people were afraid to sit through the service,” he said, according to News Center Maine.
“So, whether or not that’s the intent, that is the effect. And I don’t think there’s anything ridiculous or over-the-top in exerting some reverse federalism here and saying, ‘You know what, until you guys figure this out, we’re not going to go along with this.’”

The emergency ordinance is similar to a recently passed state law that also limits cooperation with federal immigration officials, but that law won’t take effect until the summer.
The Lewiston ordinance will fill that gap in the meantime. Gallant noted the state measure in his remarks, saying city officials should be more concerned with public safety.
“You need to think about public safety and how we take care of it,” he said. “You need to think about how to get ICE back in here because if we didn’t have people who are illegal, they wouldn’t be here. You know, I keep hearing they’re hiding in their houses. If you’re not illegal, why do you hide in your house?”
Once passed, the emergency ordinance took effect immediately. However, it expires in 60 days. Lawmakers will vote whether to make the ordinance permanent at the next city council meeting.

Steelers’ Will Howard Gets Shout Out From Top NFL Draft WR
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are likely one of the teams that will be heavily considering a wide receiver when it comes to their very valuable first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
One of the top options, and considered by many analysts to be the best overall, is Ohio State Buckeye alum Carnell Tate. Tate is a three-year starter at Ohio State, and the top wide receiver selection is likely to be between him and Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson.
While at Ohio State, Tate was a teammate of current Steelers backup quarterback Will Howard, and was asked about him during his workout at Ohio State’s Pro Day.
“Oh, Will isn’t giving me no tips. He’s probably going to root for me to come with him to Pittsburgh,” Tate said.
“I’m happy for him. I wish him nothing but the best. Love that guy to death,” Tate also said.
Howard would not be the first person to try to get their former teammate to join them from college to their professional team, with one big example being Derek Carr and Davante Adams a couple years prior.
If Tate were to join the Steelers, he would be the third member of the 2024 Ohio State National Championship-winning team to play for the Steelers simultaneously, with Howard and surging young linebacker Jack Sawyer having played on the Steelers in 2025.
Will Tate Go To Pittsburgh?
Tate is quite unlikely to end up with the Steelers, as he is expected to be among the first players selected in the 2026 NFL Draft. With the Steelers having the No. 21 selection, they would need to make a significant trade forward to likely jump into the zone where Tate would be available.
“I think I’m a great football player,” Tate said about going into the NFL. “My speed … the combine is one time, but ultimately I’m a great football player. When you put the pads on, it’s another level.”
They could probably do that, due to the fact that they have 12 selections across the seven rounds. At this point in time, it does not see they love any particular player enough to make that big of a trade up, but trades into the late end of the top ten are quite common. Yet, their move to land Michael Pittman Jr. would make it significantly less likely that they make such a move to get another wide receiver.
While at Ohio State, Tate was always in the top half of their wide receiver room, yet played among some of the most talented wide receivers in recent history in current NFL player Emeka Egbuka and young talent Jeremiah Smith. He finished his final collegiate season with All-Big Ten honors, as well as well as being a second team All-American.
