IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT INITIATIVE BEGINS IN MAINE
At least 100 arrested in Maine by ICE faced rapid transfers to New England jails, complicating legal access and family contact, officials said.
- On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested at least 100 people in Maine, with rapid interstate transfers starting Tuesday.
- The Trump administration has described detention as `non-punitive` and says limited space prepares detainees for deportation or to secure flight risks.
- Marcos Da Silva, originally from Brazil, was detained Tuesday in Portland and took two days to be located by family and lawyers; he later appeared in the ICE detainee database listed as held in Plymouth.
- Lawyers and families struggle to locate detainees as only two people have filed federal court petitions since Tuesday; some immigrants taken more than 1,000 miles from arrest points.
- Six New England facilities contracted to hold ICE detainees include county jails used in recent transfers, and National Immigrant Justice Center compares these moves to the multistate Midway Blitz; ICE did not respond to inquiries.
