1. Think I jumped the gun on my speculation.

This refers to the SB 1070 anti-imigration laws AZ passed. So, my first guess was obviously in error. OTOH, the DHS is not saying if their raid todaqy indicates there was a public safety issue involved. Could be taxes, copyright infringement, undocumented workers, something else, or a combination. Still, these kind of RW messages are pretty disturbing...I'm sure there are other shirts promoting physical violence and intolerance if I bothered to take the time to look.

2. Well they clearly caught the eye of the Feds for some reason...

Interesting that this company is involved with (presumably) the printing of distasteful text on a line of Howie Carr T-shirts.

From updated BDN article:
Mike Lanno of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations Unit told the Bangor Daily News at the scene that he could not identify the nature of the investigation. Asked whether there is or has been any threat to the public, Lanno declined to answer.

Ross Feinstein, a Washington, D.C.-based spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, said in a written statement Thursday that the search was related to “an ongoing criminal investigation” and that no other information would be available Thursday
