ICE Builds New Facility in Newport | Portland Maine News

ICE is set to build a new deportation hub in Newport, replacing the old courthouse vacated last year due to mold. The move aims to accelerate deportations, following a surge in in-person check-ins—especially in Scarborough, where arrests spike on those days. Lawmakers toured the Scarborough facility and heard of detainees processed and shipped out same-day. With construction looming, this signals a broader push to speed up ICE operations across the state. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
