5TYNTK January 20 – Maine ICE, Maine Fraud, Verizon Credit, Indiana Title, Patriots Win

1. Maine is pushing back on ICE after the Secretary of State paused requests for undercover Maine license plates, citing concerns about misuse and public safety. The decision has sparked sharp reactions from both sides, with protests in Portland and calls from federal officials for any demonstrations to remain peaceful. (WGME)

2. Three men from New York are facing fraud charges in Lincoln County after police say they tried to scam thousands from Maine bank accounts by impersonating real customers and using fake military IDs to withdraw cash. Investigators believe there may be additional victims. (WMTW)

3. That Verizon text offering a $20 account credit is legit, following a recent service outage. Customers can safely claim it by logging directly into their Verizon account or the myVerizon app. Just note, the credit is not automatic and must be claimed. (WMTW)

4. Indiana made history Monday night, beating Miami 27–21 to win the program’s first national championship and finish a perfect 16–0. Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza sealed it with a gutsy fourth-quarter touchdown run. (USAToday)
