Senator Susan Collins reported that immigration officials had ceased enhanced operations in Maine after an enforcement surge that produced more than 200 arrests. Collins said she held several direct communications with Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and stated there are no ongoing or planned large-scale ICE operations in the state. Collins urged Noem and the Administration to get ICE to reconsider its approach to immigration enforcement in Maine. She added that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement will continue its normal, long-standing enforcement activities. Maine has about 1.4 million residents, with an estimated 4% foreign-born population.
