Sen. Susan Collins said Thursday that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told her large-scale ICE operations in Maine have ended and there are currently no planned operations for the future. “While the Department of Homeland Security does not confirm law enforcement operations, I can report that Secretary Noem has informed me that ICE has ended its enhanced activities in the State of Maine,” Collins said in a statement on X . Collins first said on Monday that she spoke with the White House and Noem and asked them to pause operations in both Maine and Minnesota. Collins has dodged questions about whether she has confidence in Noem as secretary of DHS or if Noem should remain as DHS secretary. This article has been updated to add a statement from DHS and to correct that Collins’ previous statement was on Tuesday.
