Trump expands immigration crackdown to Maine, drawing backlash from governor and communities

The Department of Homeland Security says it has launched an immigration enforcement operation in Maine, dubbed “Operation Catch of the Day,” with more than 100 agents arriving this week to target criminal offenders and refugees including Somali communities. Maine Governor Janet Mills, a Democrat, criticized the tactic as aggressive and not welcome, while President Trump has been expanding federal enforcement in Democratic-led states. Public support for the approach has waned amid clashes with protesters and ongoing political debate over immigration policy.
