Immigration

In These Times -  The Trump administration unleashed federal immigration enforcement agents on states around the nation, including those with relatively miniscule immigrant populations. This includes Maine, the whitest state in the country, where a mere 4 percent of the population is of immigrant origin. ICE agents wreaked havoc on the state in early 2026. Even after Republican Senator Susan Collins requested an end to the operations, tensions remained high and ICE sightings continued.
