flag Maine ends most cooperation with ICE, barring detentions for immigration status alone.

flag Maine Governor Janet Mills has allowed LD 1971 to become law without her signature, ending state and local cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) except in criminal investigations. flag The law prohibits police from detaining or searching individuals solely for immigration reasons and bans notifying ICE about undocumented individuals in custody. flag Mills cited aggressive federal immigration enforcement under President Trump’s administration as a key reason, calling the bill necessary despite its flaws. flag She also repealed a 2011 executive order that encouraged state-ICE collaboration. flag The move follows concerns over due process, family separations, and fear in immigrant communities.
