Maine grapples with fear as ICE launches sweeping operation

ICE’s Maine operation, dubbed “Catch of the Day,” has sparked disruption and fear as officials question the scope and transparency of arrests targeting some 1,400 people, with more than 100 arrests in the first three days. Gov. Janet Mills and city leaders criticized the tactics and lack of information, while residents, schools, and immigrant advocates report anxiety, absent students, and protests across Portland and Lewiston.
