Hundreds of Residents Call on Wells to End Agreement with ICE

  • On June 11, federal agents detained 17 construction workers for immigration violations while they were working on the restoration of the fire-damaged apartment complex located on East Third Street in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
  • The arrests followed a May 2 fire at the apartment complex, and the operation was an HSI-led worksite enforcement linked to an ongoing federal investigation.
  • Bethlehem city officials were not informed in advance and stated police did not take part in the arrests, which remain under investigation.
  • More than 900 Wells, Maine residents signed a petition urging their police department to withdraw from ICE cooperation, amid concerns about ICE’s practices and community impact.
  • In response, Wells Police paused ICE training while Maine’s Legislature considers bill LD 1259, which would prohibit local law enforcement agreements with federal immigration authorities.
