According to an article on the WGME website, Maine residents will see three new state laws take effect Wednesday that limit cooperation between state and local agencies and federal immigration authorities. Supporters say the new laws are intended to improve public safety and protect the privacy of immigrants living in Maine. The legislation comes just weeks after a fatal ICE-involved shooting in Biddeford, an incident that has intensified debate over the role of federal immigration enforcement in the state. "ICE Out of Policing" limits cooperation between law enforcement agencies and federal immigration officials. "ICE Out of Schools and State Healthcare" allows public schools, state libraries and healthcare facilities to deny ICE access to private information unless agents present a judicial warrant.
