3,600 pairs of new Maine license plates to be replaced after printing error
Jun. 6—The state will replace thousands of newly issued license plates after a printing error, the Department of the Secretary of State said. About 3,600 pairs of license plates were printed with the wrong amount of space between numbers and letters, office spokesperson Jana Spaulding said on a Friday evening phone call. She said the erroneous license plates were printed within the same time frame. "It could potentially cause an issue with E-ZPass and other things that do that character reading," she said. "Obviously an inconvenience, which is unfortunate, but was caught quickly." The new plates, which feature a pine tree reminiscent of the 1901 state flag, are being manufactured in Canada. They began replacing Maine's time-honored chickadee plates last month. The 3,600 drivers who were issued the faulty plates are being notified by letter. The office will mail impacted drivers replacement plates and sticker tags at no cost. They should arrive in August, though the timeline may change, the bureau said in its letter. In the meantime, drivers are asked to use the errant plates and notify the Bureau of Motor Vehicles of any issues related to scanning, Spaulding said. "It's a relatively minor, short-term error," she said, adding that the issue affected only "3,600 out of a few million" the agency intends to distribute this year. Those who receive replacement plates can return the faulty ones to the BMV or hold onto them as a keepsake, but they should not be used on a vehicle, Spaulding said. Copy the Story Link

Who is Melissa Tran? Hagerstown rallies behind mother and business owner held by ICE
Hagerstown resident and business owner Mong "Melissa" Tuyen Thi Tran of Hagerstown, MD, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on May 12, sparking a community response that has included a 200-hundred-strong rally and a social media effort to tell her story. Tran and her husband, Dung "Danny" Hoang have operated Nail Palace and Spa in the Long Meadow Shopping Center for almost 22 years. According to information given out during a rally outside the plaza June 4, Tran was detained by ICE on May 12 after she went to her check-in with immigration in Baltimore. Since then she has been held in Louisiana, Arizona and now, in the Tacoma, Washington, area, according to Tran's Rockville, Maryland-based immigration attorney, Laura Kelsey Rhodes. Tran, her parents and three brothers became Vietnamese refugees in 1993, according to local attorney Bernie Semler. They legally came to the United States and were issued green cards, according to Semler and his wife, Tina Nash. Shortly after meeting Hoang in 2003, Tran was taken into custody by ICE due to an aggravated theft case when she was 19 and held for six months, according to Rhodes and information from Tran's supporters. ICE received a deportation order due to the criminal conviction, but Vietnam was not accepting people back who had left the country before 1995. Tran was released and agreed to check in annually with immigration. Tran and Hoang have four children and own a home in Hagerstown, according to Semler and Nash. ICE media relations has not responded to a request for comment or more information on Tran's case. Rhodes said Tran received a largely suspended sentence except for work release after pleading guilty to a felony theft charge. Tran also paid restitution. According to Tran's supporters and Rhodes, Tran stole money from an employer. Rhodes said her understanding is Tran's boyfriend at the time was the "idea man" behind the crime and was pressuring Tran. "We're not making excuses," Semler said. "She did her time." Tran's case is likely to take months, Rhodes said. One possible result could be going back to the status quo, where Tran checks in regularly with ICE. The "aggravated" status of Tran's conviction from around 23 years ago has prevented her from becoming a naturalized citizen, Rhodes said. It also has kept her on ICE's radar, though ICE has detained people without such convictions. Rhodes said she's pursuing several avenues in the case, including arguing that the country she fled no longer exists and she did not have her own Vietnam passport at the time because she was a child. Rhodes said Vietnam also might not grant her travel papers for her return, and Hoang also has started the process to petition for a new green card for Tran since they are married and he is a U.S. citizen, Rhodes said. That process might not block Tran from becoming a citizen given her conviction is more than 15 years old. According to a story in the Herald-Mail in 2012, Tran said she and Hoang met while working in a metro-area salon and married in October 2003. They opened the Hagerstown business in February 2004. Tran talked about how she valued education and how the "privilege" of free education provided in the United States did not exist in Vietnam. In 2010, she was commuting to Ashburn, VA, to study at George Washington's Virginia Science and Technology Campus. At the time she was interviewed for that story, Tran was planning a speech she was asked to provide at graduation. Nash helped organize #BringMelissaHome, which hosted the June 4 meeting and has a presence on Facebook. The #BringMelissaHome effort includes a letter-writing campaign to urge federal officials to review Tran's case and allow her to return home to Hagerstown. There's also a GoFundMe to help with legal costs and financial shortfalls Tran's family may face. Items like T-shirts and bracelets also are being sold to support legal costs and the family. Four months into his second term, President Donald Trump has stepped up efforts to deport millions of immigrants, including Vietnamese. According to a report in USA TODAY, the Trump administration had tried to remove at least one Vietnamese man to South Sudan, along with other migrants. On May 27, observers noted that at least one deportation flight appeared to have landed in Hanoi. Vietnam historically has not accepted deportations from the United States, except for a period during Trump's first administration. President Joe Biden largely halted such deportations when he came into office. USA TODAY reporter Eduardo Cuevas contributed to this story.

Trump's past feuds don't bode well for Elon Musk
WASHINGTON − If history is any guide, and there is a lot of history, the explosive new falling-out between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk is not going to end well for the former White House adviser and world's richest man. The political battlefield is littered with the scorched remains of some of Trump's former allies who picked a fight with him or were on the receiving end of one. Lawyer Michael Cohen. Political adviser Steve Bannon. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Defense Secretary James Mattis and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. John Bolton, John Kelly and Chris Christie, to name just a few. 'If what happened to me is any indication of how they handle these matters, then Elon is going to get decimated,' said Cohen, the former long-term Trump lawyer and fixer who once said he'd 'take a bullet' for his boss. Musk, he said, "just doesn't understand how to fight this type of political guerrilla warfare." 'They're going to take his money, they're going to shutter his businesses, and they're going to either incarcerate or deport him,' Cohen said. 'He's probably got the White House working overtime already, as we speak, figuring out how to close his whole damn thing down.' Cohen had perhaps the most spectacular blowup, until now, with Trump. He served time in prison after Trump threw him under the bus by denying any knowledge of pre-election payments Cohen made to a porn actress to keep her alleged tryst with Trump quiet before the 2016 election. More: President Trump threatens Elon Musk's billions in government contracts as alliance craters Cohen felt so betrayed by Trump that he titled his memoir 'Disloyal,' but the Trump administration tried to block its publication. Cohen ultimately fought back, becoming a star witness for the government in the state 'hush money' case and helped get Trump convicted by a Manhattan jury. More: Impeachment? Deportation? Crazy? 6 takeaways from the wild feud between Trump and Elon Musk Some suffered similar legal attacks and other slings and arrows, including Trump taunts and his trademark nasty nicknames. Trump vilified others, casting them into the political wilderness with his MAGA base. When Sessions recused himself from the Justice Department's investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, Trump savaged him, calling his appointment a 'mistake' and lobbing other epithets. Sessions resigned under pressure in 2018. When he tried to resurrect his political career by running for his old Senate seat in Alabama, Trump endorsed his opponent, who won the GOP primary. After firing Tillerson, Trump called the former ExxonMobil chief lazy and 'dumb as a rock.' Trump still taunts Christie, an early supporter and 2016 transition chief, especially about his weight. Trump also had a falling-out with Bannon, who was instrumental in delivering his presidential victory in 2016 and then joined the White House as special adviser. 'Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my presidency,' Trump said in 2018, a year after Bannon's ouster from the White House. 'When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind.' Trump's Justice Department even indicted Bannon in 2020 for fraud, though the president pardoned him before leaving office. One of Trump's biggest feuds was with Bolton, whom he fired as his national security adviser in 2019. Trump used every means possible to prevent Bolton's book, 'The Room Where it Happened,' from being published, Bolton told USA TODAY on June 5. That included having the U.S. government sue his publisher on the false premise that Bolton violated a nondisclosure agreement and was leaking classified information, Bolton said. Bolton said Musk is unlike most others who have crossed swords with Trump in that he has unlimited amounts of money and control of a powerful social media platform in X to help shape the narrative. Musk also has billions in government contracts that even a vindictive Trump would have a hard time killing, as he threatened to do June 5, without significant legal challenges. Even so, Bolton said, "It's going to end up like most mud fights do, with both of them worse off. The question is how much worse the country is going to be off."
