The Hill - Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) announced Thursday that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has informed her that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ceased enhanced operations in Maine, something Collins had repeatedly discussed with Noem in recent days.
“I can report that Secretary Noem has informed me that ICE has ended its enhanced activities in the State of Maine,” the senator wrote in a statement.
“There are currently no ongoing or planned large-scale ICE operations here,” she continued. “I have been urging Secretary Noem and others in the Administration to get ICE to reconsider its approach to immigration enforcement in the state.”....
The Maine Republican has declined to join some of her Republican colleagues, such as Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who have called for the Department of Homeland Security chief to resign or be fired.
