Bangor Community Rejects ICE Facility | Portland Maine News

Faith and community leaders in Bangor are rallying against a proposed ICE facility in Newport, urging property owner Charles Cox to reject the lease — warning that ICE’s presence threatens vulnerable residents, especially immigrants and people of color, amid a history of misconduct and eroded public trust. The plan stems from a state rep’s disclosure about the vacant, mold-ridden courthouse site, while ICE remains silent on its involvement. Activists are appealing to Cox’s conscience, demanding transparency and justice — and asking him to prevent what they call “chaos and cruelty” from taking root in their neighborhood.
