https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/us/politics/maine-somali-immigration-enforcement.htmlTrump Administration Starts Immigration Operation in Maine
A similar operation that unfolded in Minnesota became a flashpoint between protesters and immigration authorities.
The Trump administration this week started arresting immigrants in Maine as part of a new federal operation targeting the state, the Department of Homeland Security said on Wednesday.
Two U.S. officials said the operation was intended to target immigrants from Somalia, along with other immigrants. People from countries including Sudan, Guatemala and Ethiopia were swept up on the first day of the operations, according to a department statement.
We arrested illegal aliens convicted of aggravated assault, false imprisonment and endangering the welfare of a child, Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the department, said in the statement. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, we are no longer allowing criminal illegal aliens to terrorize American citizens.
