A Maine woman, often referred to as a ‘Karen,’ inadvertently revealed to the Daily Mail that she attempted to halt a police investigation into a grave threat at a school, mistakenly believing the officers were agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Mary Conmee, aged 63, picked up her phone on Thursday morning. Rather than addressing the reporter directly, she was overheard discussing her actions with someone else.

In this conversation, Conmee, a retired New York State Police Sergeant now living in Orrington, admitted she was the individual who tried to disrupt the Brewer Police Department’s investigation. The authorities were probing a person’s ‘intent to kill school staff and others’ at local schools on Wednesday, according to officials.

As police were working on this serious threat, Conmee drove to the scene, equipped with a bullhorn.

“I didn’t even obstruct. I stayed in my car and had a blow horn,” she remarked when contacted by the Daily Mail, before abruptly ending the call.

When the reporter reached out again shortly afterward, Conmee simply responded that she had no further comment.

Officers first spotted Conmee after they arrived at a residence in Brewer ‘to locate and safely contact the person of interest,’ the department said. 

Soon, they were greeted by her after she ‘deliberately drove to the scene and interfered with police activity by repeatedly sounding an air horn, refusing lawful orders to leave, and yelling expletives at officers,’ police added.

Conmee then shouted  ‘that she “didn’t want ICE” in her neighborhood,’ authorities stated. 

Police soon determined that the person of interest was not responsible for the school threat. 

Officers then turned their attention to Conmee, stating that ‘her actions interfered with legitimate law enforcement operations and created a real risk to the investigating officers.’ 

As a result, she was summonsed for disorderly conduct and obstructing government administration. 

Conmee is no stranger to speaking out against ICE and the Trump administration, as her Facebook is filled with posts that call out the agency, especially recently, with tensions at an all-time high across America. 

In a January 8 post, she shared an AI image of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis the day before. 

He was never shown with his face uncovered, but an AI image of him without it quickly circulated online. 

In her post, Conmee called on others to get the word out about Ross after his identity was revealed. 

Conme also has several memes posted on her Facebook that express her hatred for Trump

‘PLEASE SHARE!!!’,’ she wrote. 

In a December post, Conmee shared a meme that read: ‘When Trump’s Presidency is over, it should be annulled. No library, no portrait, no titles, no honors. It’s a record of shame.’ 

She simply captioned the post: ‘This.’ 

Conmee’s disruption came on the same day President Donald Trump ordered ICE agents to begin rounding up Somali migrants in Maine as part of the administration’s latest crackdown. 

Federal agents are sweeping through the state’s two largest cities, Portland and Lewiston, as the Department of Homeland Security announced ‘Operation Catch of the Day’ on Wednesday.

Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin announced that agents had arrested multiple individuals on the first day of the operation. 

Local officials in Maine’s two biggest cities are warning residents that ICE will begin ramping up its enforcement operations in the next few days.

Meanwhile, the US attorney’s office in Maine warned citizens against impeding ICE agents from carrying out their operation.

‘Anyone who forcibly assaults or impedes a federal law enforcement officer, willfully destroys government property or unlawfully obstructs federal law enforcement activity commits a federal crime and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,’ said Andrew Benson, the US attorney in the state.

Conmee’s disturbance comes as tensions reach an all-time high across the US with ICE agents and citizens. Anti-ICE protestors are seen clashing with federal agents in St. Paul, Minnesota on January 8 

Amid outcry from local and state officials, Maine’s Democratic Governor Janet Mills said aggressive immigration enforcement that violates civil rights are ‘not welcome.’

Maine received thousands of asylum refugees from African countries under the Biden administration. A sizeable Somali population has existed in the state since the early 2000s.

The presence of ICE agents in Portland is causing fear across immigrant communities, according to city council member Pious Ali, an immigrant of the West African nation of Ghana.

‘Our schools have seen about a quarter of immigrants not showing up,’ Ali said. ‘There are immigrants who live here who work in our hospitals, they work in our schools, they work in our hotels, they are part of the economic engine of our community.’

‘The federal government has the ability to contact these people without unleashing fear into our communities.’

More than 3,000 people have been arrested in the state as part of the agency’s ‘Operation Metro Surge’ in Minnesota, DHS said. People are seen being detained by federal officers in Minneapolis on January 13 

The immigration enforcement action arriving in Maine, a rural state with about 1.4 million residents, suggests the White House is doubling down on Trump’s mass deportation agenda amid widespread pushback.

The agent’s presence in Maine comes as protests continue in Minnesota following Good’s death earlier this month. 

More than 3,000 people have been arrested in the state as part of the agency’s ‘Operation Metro Surge,’ the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a recent report.
