Judge Halts ICE Deportation in Maine | Portland Maine News
from Portland Maine News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A Maine judge has slapped a temporary halt on ICE’s plans to deport Adnero Pinto Sebastiao, an asylum seeker from Angola arrested outside his job — despite having already filed for protection. The emergency order, now expanded, blocks ICE from moving him out of state or transferring him elsewhere, forcing them to justify his detention before a court. His lawyers argue the arrest violated legal procedures by skipping required assessments. As immigration enforcement surges in Maine — with many detainees having no criminal record — DHS has until Friday to respond. The case could set a precedent as courts weigh warrantless arrests and asylum rights. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
