Three new ICE Out of Maine laws will take effect on Wednesday, July 29, drawng a clear line between rogue federal agents and the essential places where Mainers live, learn and heal:  ICE Out of Policing, ICE Out of our Homes, and ICE Out of Schools and State Healthcare.  These laws will protect our communities and ensure that local officials and resources are never used to support dangerous and chaotic federal immigration operations according to a press release received yesterday from the ACLU.

Together, the ICE Out laws will draw a clear line between Maine and reckles federal agents:

ICE Out of Policing will restrict jails and Maine law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration agencies.  This will ensure no person is forced to choose between calling for help in an emergency or facing deportation.

ICE Out of Schools and State Healthcare will empower frontline employees at public schools, state libraries and state healthcare facilities to deny ICE searches of private information and private spaces unless agents present a valid judicial warrant.  Safe access to these essential spaces is the foundation of safe, strong and healthy communities.

ICE Out of Our Homes will prohibit landlords from sharing sensitive tenant information, including immigration-related information, with federal agents unless the agents present a valid judicial warrant.  No person should ever feel unsafe at home because his landlord is weaponizing his immigration status against him, and landlords should be confident that they can protect renters’ sensitive information in the face of bullying or harassment from ICE agents.

The ICE Out laws affect numerous state and local agencies and will need to be implemented by a wide range of public officials, including county commissioners, sheriffs, superintendents and mayors.   For instance, Maine has 107 police departments, 16 sheriff’s departments, 12 state agencies and divisions, 17 housing auhorities and 253 school districts – all of which will need to comply with the ICE Out laws.

The laws will come into force as federal immigration agents continue committing widespread civil rights violations.  A national ACLU report released last week, “Agents of Chaos and Cruelty,” highlights intentional changes at US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that have unleashed thousands of masked, menacing and unaccountable agents on communities across the country at a scale that mirrors aspects of countries under authoritarian rule.  The result of these changes has led to violence throughout the country, including widespead terror during “Operation Catch of the Day” and the killing of Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero in Biddeford at the hands of ICE.

The ACLU of Maine and other advocates will activate Maine voters to hold their public officials accountable for implementation. The ACLU of Maine will also track compliance through public records connection.  Read more about the ICE Out campaign at ACLUMaine.org/ICEOut.
