DHS, which oversees the country’s primary immigration enforcement agencies, has claimed the Maine operation has targeted criminals and netted more than 200 people.
Maine’s congressional delegation has been divided on funding ICE.
A funding bill passed the U.S. House last week and is now before the Senate.
But she has signaled that she will support the DHS bill, noting that 80% of the funding in it is unrelated to immigration.
King, an Independent, has said he plans to vote against the DHS funding bill but hopes to avoid a government shutdown.
