Maine's governor demands data on immigration arrests as fear spreads amid enforcement surge

Maine's Democratic governor has challenged federal immigration officials to provide arrest warrants, real-time numbers and information about detainees amid a sweeping enforcement operation in the state. Gov. Janet Mills said Thursday that the state has been given few details as fear spreads in immigrant communities in the mostly rural state with a relatively small undocumented population. The Department of Homeland Security this week announced “Operation Catch of the Day” and said it is targeting hundreds of people with criminal convictions. Mills responded that she would be shocked if that many had criminal charges. She says schools and businesses are being disrupted and state officials don't know where detainees are being held.
