Well, this is unexpected
ICE launches immigration enforcement operation in Maine
Do these old white folks have nothing better to do?
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has launched a new operation in Maine, an expansion of a Trump administration campaign that has sparked tensions across the country.
Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a Wednesday statement that ICE “arrested illegal aliens convicted of aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and endangering the welfare of a child” during the first day of the initiative, dubbed “Operation Catch of the Day.”
She also called out Democratic Gov. Janet Mills, alleging that the governor “and her fellow sanctuary politicians in Maine have made it abundantly clear that they would rather stand with criminal illegal aliens than protect law-abiding American citizens.”
Mills said in a statement that “many people across Maine are fearful” in the wake of ICE launching its operation in the state.
If they are in the U.S. lawfully and with no conviction or charges they shouldn’t be fearful, right?
“If the Federal government has warrants, then it should show them. But if they are separating working mothers from young children, solely because they sought freedom here and have committed no crime, then the Federal government is only sowing intimidation and fear and fostering division and suspicion among neighbors – none of which is welcome,” she said.
Yeah, that’s not how it works Janet, dammit. I bet if a working mother cam and stole a bunch of your stuff you’d be all for prosecuting them. We are a nation of Law, not of Men. If laws mean nothing then why do we have them? And the law saws, shockingly, that anyone unlawfully present in the US gets deported.
Portland City Councilor Pious Ali said most of the people arrested by ICE on Tuesday were from Maine’s greater Portland area, including South Portland, Westbrook and Lewiston.
Local officials in the state have cautioned that the presence of federal officials in Maine could lead to heightened tensions, with Portland Mayor Mark Dion warning last week that “Our community is anxious and fearful regarding the understanding that ICE is planning to send agents to Portland and Lewiston next week.”
Oh, good, they’re going to protect murderers, rapists, and child abusers.
ICE Deputy Assistant Director Patricia Hyde told Fox News in Scarborough, Maine, on Tuesday that the operation was targeting approximately 1,400 individuals— including immigrants from Senegal, Somalia, Honduras, Guatemala and the Congo — and that authorities arrested more than 50 people during its first day.
The Biden admin kept good records on those they let in, and now the Trump admin can use those records to round them up.
“Ice Out”? Heck, here in NH “Ice In” was just declared on Lake Winnipesaukee! Ice Out won’t be declared until sometime in April.
These silly Mainiacs just don’t understand the concept of Ice Out.
Numbers! Teach hates them!!
There are about 7000 Somalis in Maine
5000 are US citizens by birth. Most arrives before 2000
They completely revitalized Lewiston Maine
If the ‘sanctuary states’ had at least turned over illegals convicted of crimes, perhaps there’d be no need to round up and deport every illegal immigrant in the United States. But, let’s face it: Democrats are just too plain stupid to do what common sense should have told them to do.
I mean, really! Yesterday’s news was that a young couple was killed by yet another illegal immigrant, who had a previous conviction for drunk driving and had his license suspended, hitting the couple’s vehicle head on, again while drunk. If North Carolina had turned him over to ICE in 2020, following his previous conviction, and his skanky ass shipped back south of the border, this couple would still be alive today.
Janet, dammit.
Good one, Teach!
Lol
ICE is winning!!!!
32 detainees died in custody in 2025. Criminal aliens killed 23 persons in 2025!
“The assertion regarding “criminal aliens” killing 23 persons in 2025 lacks context and specific sources to verify its accuracy.”
Rimjob don’t need no stinking context or sources to make up his bulshit…
Why Maine? – Simply because Maine Governor Janet Mills humiliated Mad King don in public.
Governor Mills and trumplestilt$kin clashed over Maine’s policy permitting transgender athletes in girl’s sports, with the threat to cut federal funding if she didn’t comply with his executive order to ban them, with Mills replying “See you in court”. This enraged the Mad King, prompting federal investigations over Title IX compliance and funding, and you know, states’ rights – which used to be a white-wing rallying cry, LOL. Things change in a monarchy – based on the whims of a madman. It would be funny if not so dangerous.
So yeah, retribution from Mad King don.
NB – Texas or Florida have millions more “illegals” than Minnesota and Maine combined, two states that hurt the Mad King’s sensitive feelings.
This is Amerika. RIP.
