Portland City Council Preps to Pass Ordinance Barring City Employees from Aiding Federal Immigration Enforcement
The Portland City Council is set to vote on an ordinance that would prohibit city employees from assisting federal immigration enforcement. This move follows a state law limiting local police collaboration with federal agencies and is supported by the ACLU of Maine. The ordinance aims to protect local workers from involvement in what the ACLU deems unconstitutional federal actions. The decision comes after concerns over ICE raids in Maine, which resulted in the detention of around 200 people, with only 12 having actual convictions. The ordinance, if passed, would go into effect immediately if approved as an emergency measure or thirty days after approval.
