Susan Collins said Thursday. “There are currently no ongoing or planned large-scale ICE operations here,” Collins said in a statement, referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “ICE operations in Maine have failed to improve public safety and have caused lasting damage to our communities. ICE has also launched immigration operations in Minnesota, Chicago and other cities. She’s also avoided criticizing ICE tactics, beyond saying ICE should not target people who are in the U.S. legally.
