February 03, 2026
"Activists in Maine are resisting #ICE immigration raids in #PortlandME and #LewistonME that the #Trump administration dubbed 'Operation Catch of the Day.' The immigrant community in Maine has grown in recent years, with an influx of #AsylumSeekers and #Somali immigrants in particular. 'As a small state, community means a lot,' says #MufaloChitam, executive director of the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition, adding that her organization has received thousands of phone calls to their immigrant support hotline in recent weeks."

#Immigrant coalition raises alarm over #WellsME #police #ICE partnership as state debate looms
April 13, 2025
WELLS, Maine (WGME) -- "The executive director of the #MaineImmigrantRightsCoalition, #MufaloChitam, says her organization is aware of the new agreement that the #WellsPoliceDepartment signed with ICE which allows officers to arrest people based on #immigration #violations.
"Wells is the first town in Maine to take this step, though other towns have applied as well.
"Chitam says, for her organization and the people they represent, the important thing is to bring awareness to what this means.
"Around the country, departments in 37 states have signed on.
" 'It just brings reality to Maine. We’ve been seeing this around the country, and around other states, but not experienced it in Maine. So that’s significant for us. It makes it real, it brings it home,' Chitam said.
"Maine lawmakers may also debate a bill that would ban police departments from this partnership."
