Portland and South Portland police secretly coordinated with a federal immigration agent in January 2026, contradicting their public claims of no collaboration.
Text messages from January 2026 reveal Portland and South Portland police officials coordinated with a Homeland Security Investigations agent during a federal immigration enforcement operation, despite public claims of no collaboration.
The communications, spanning January 21–26, show local leaders discussing the safety of federal agents staying at downtown hotels, monitoring protesters who used noise-making tools, and offering surveillance support, including a proposed 360-degree camera that was not installed.
While no arrests were made by South Portland officers, police shared social media updates and assisted with logistical safety concerns.
The federal agent provided only general information about operations.
Officials stated their cooperation focused on public safety, not immigration enforcement.
