The past week has seen a documented increase in ICE enforcement activity in Maine. In response, the Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project (ILAP) and the ACLU of Maine are working together to ensure our community has clear, accurate information about their rights and how to be prepared.
We encourage community members to review this important one-page guide from the ACLU of Maine, which explains what to do if ICE comes to your home or workplace, or encounters you in public:
Preparing for and Responding to ICE in Maine
Additionally, ILAP has published additional helpful information on their website, including an online form to request assistance if someone you know has been detained by ICE:

Our team is monitoring the situation and remains available to assist clients and community members who may be affected by increased enforcement activity.
