During the multiday surge, Chitam said she didn't see any clear pattern in who was being arrested, meaning that even if the administration does take a less sweeping approach, it's not clear who will be at risk. The Portland-based Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project said in a statement Thursday that an end to the surge does not mean that immigration enforcement in the state will cease altogether. Portland city councilor Wes Pelletier, meanwhile, said grassroots efforts to track and document ICE activity are not going away. Pelletier said after a flood of ICE sightings last week, reports of activity slowed this week, but are still trickling in. While officials, advocates and residents try to figure out what comes next for immigration enforcement in Maine, Auburn mayor Jeff Harmon said there are deeper questions that need to be addressed.
