Weekly civic intelligence report · v2.2
Maine's governor demanded detailed data on immigration arrests as fear spreads among residents amid the Trump administration's enforcement surge. This reflects state-level concerns about federal immigration operations.
State governor requesting data on federal enforcement operations represents legitimate federalism tension (separation:3, rule_of_law:2) but constitutional damage is limited by single-state scope (0.85 modifier) and routine nature of data requests. Civil_rights:2 reflects concerns about community impact but no direct rights violation documented. Final A-score of 6.2 indicates minor constitutional friction. B-score of 32.4 driven by high media_friendliness (8) and outrage_bait (7) with 'fear spreads' framing, pattern_match (8) to national immigration narrative, and timing (7) amid broader enforcement discourse. Layer 2 mismatch (6) between routine data request and fear-spreading frame. Intentionality:7 for emotional language choices. D-score of -26.2 clearly indicates List B classification.
Monitor whether data request reveals actual enforcement patterns warranting constitutional concern versus routine federal-state coordination. Track if 'fear spreading' reflects documented community impact or narrative amplification. Distinguish legitimate oversight from performative federalism theater.
