Maine,Bill,Paramilitary Training

Maine Governor Janet Mills signs a bill that allows the attorney-general to file for a court injunction to stop paramilitary training intended to sow civil disorder.

A bill to restrict paramilitary training in Maine in response to a neo-Nazi who wanted to create a training centre for a “blood tribe” was signed into law by Democratic Gov. Janet Mills on Friday.

“I welcome people to come to Maine and live here and work hard and make Maine a better place. But I’m not welcoming of people who want to make Maine a white ethno-state,” Osher, a Democrat, said Friday evening. “This bill is making it clear that anyone who has that intent is not welcome to do that here.”

Attorney General Aaron Frey said militias that don’t follow the orders of civilian leaders were already prohibited by the Maine Constitution, but that applies specifically to groups parading with guns in public or outfitted in clothing that looks like real military uniforms.
