Ahead of the Scarborough Town Council’s special meeting Wednesday evening, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-ME) sent the Council a letter supporting their proclamation calling for a federal review of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility at 40 Manson Libby Road.  In the letter, Pingree urged the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to seriously reconsider whether the facility should continue operating in Scarborough if its presence is undermining public trust and making residents feel less safe.

“The facility at 40 Manson Libby Road has become a symbol of fear, uncerainity and intimidation for many immigrant families and their neighbors,” Pingree said.  “That should concern every one of us.”

In her letter, Pingree emphasized that the Town of Scarborough has every right to question whether continuing to host the ICE facility serves the interests of the community.  She called on DHS and ICE to conduct a serious review of the facililty’s continued operation and to give meaningful weight to the concerns raised by local residents and elected officials.

“When a federal facility reaches the point where its very presence undermines the public confidence and leaves residents feeling less safe, the federal government has a responsibility to reconsider if that facility belongs there at all,” she said.

Pingree also reiterated that her office had been conducting aggressive oversight of ICE’s activities in Maine following the fatal shooting of her constituent, Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero, in Biddeford.  She has demanded answers from DHS, called for a transparent investigation, pursued legislative and appropriations oversight and remains committed to holding the agency accountable to the communities it serves.

“Federal agencies must carry out their responsibilities in a manner that respects human dignity, civil rights, due process and the communities in which they operate.  When they fail to do so, local communities have not only the right but the responsibility to speak out,” Pingree said.
