Secretary of State Shenna Bellows Responds to Reports of ICE Threats in Maine

Augusta – Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows releases the following statement in response to speculation that ICE may soon start conducting wide scale operations in the state: 

"ICE’s lawless tactics are not welcome in Maine. In the United States, people cannot be taken off the street by masked agents, thrown in unmarked cars, and disappeared. That’s kidnapping, not law enforcement. Those wielding Trump's fascist agenda to divide us will fail because in Maine we stand with and will always protect our immigrant neighbors.”
