Former Lewiston City Councilor Tim Gallant gives an impassioned speech in opposition to the city's emergency anti-ICE order: "How many gunshot issues have we had since ICE came to town?

Probably the most surreal 'zombie' home health care office we've seen yet. Zahraa Home Care, run out of a trailer, billed MaineCare for $233,392.39 in 2025. After filming this video, we were able to get in touch with the owner (not through the listed phone number on the sign), who told us the business did not have a permit.
