ICE Out of Maine
Last updated on July 02, 2026
Three new Ice Out of Maine laws will protect our communities from reckless and dangerous federal abuses of power.
Maine communities are stronger and safer without ICE
In January 2026, the Trump administration launched “Operation Catch of the Day” in Maine. Federal officials claimed they would target only the “worst of the worst” and help keep communities safe. Instead, communities across the state watched as roughly 200 of their neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family members were detained.
In response to the Trump administration’s lawless campaign, Maine lawmakers passed three ICE Out of Maine laws: ICE Out of Policing, ICE Out of Our Homes, and ICE Out of Schools and Healthcare.
These laws protect our communities and ensure that local officials, agencies, and resources are not used to support reckless and chaotic federal immigration enforcement operations.
ICE Out of Maine Laws draw a line to protect Maine from federal overreach, build trust, and allow people to live safely and freely where we live, learn, and heal.
We're holding public officials accountable
The ACLU of Maine uses public records requests to understand how Maine officials are cooperating with ICE, and to hold them accountable as the ICE Out of Maine laws take effect.
