$1 billion in fraud. A non-verbal child found at a mosque. Maine law enforcement told to “stand down” on Chinese organized crime. What is actually happening in the state of Maine — and what does the Bible say about it?
In this episode, Pastor Travis sits down with investigative journalist Jon Fetherston of The Maine Wire — the only Maine news outlet embedded with ICE during Operation Catch of the Day — to unpack the immigration story most of the press won’t touch.
Together, they distinguish what the Bible actually says about the foreigner, the sojourner, and the nation — drawing the critical line between an immigrant and an invader. They walk through The Maine Wire’s investigation into nearly $1 billion in MaineCare fraud, the mystery surrounding Lewiston’s Bartlett Street mosque, the political career of Iman Osman, the moment Maine’s mayor and a U.S. Senate candidate refused to comment on four shootings in a single day, and the Chinese triad marijuana operations quietly transforming rural Maine.
Jon Fetherston is an investigative journalist with The Maine Wire, a longtime public servant and former housing commissioner, and a regular contributor on Fox News. He has spent decades helping immigrant and refugee communities — making his perspective on this conversation uniquely earned.
