ICE Eyes Newport Court Building | Portland Maine News

ICE is reportedly eyeing a lease for the old Newport District Court building in Maine, sparking heated debate across the community. Critics fear the agency’s presence could disrupt local life and raise safety concerns, while supporters argue the town shouldn’t host undocumented immigrants. Senator Susan Collins, though surprised by the move, has pushed to keep sensitive sites like schools and hospitals ICE-free — but wasn’t involved in this decision. Meanwhile, faith leaders from Bangor are urging the landlord to reconsider, citing recent ICE controversies and hoping to meet privately to voice their objections.
