(AP Photo/Erin Hooley)Maine lawmakers will hear testimony Thursday on a proposal that could make it more difficult for federal immigration agents to operate in Maine. Rep. Ellie Sato, D-Gorham, introduced a bill, LD 2106, that would ban certain officials from allowing immigration enforcement officers into non-public areas of their facilities. The bill would apply to anyone acting on behalf of a public school, health care or child care facility or public library. Protests in Maine have not turned as chaotic or violent as those in Minnesota, where federal agents have fatally shot two protesters this month amid ICE operations in the Twin Cities. That measure limits local and state law enforcement from working with federal immigration enforcement officers in many cases.
