South Portland Draws Line on ICE Cooperation | Portland Maine News

South Portland is poised to take a bold step by proposing a new rule that would bar city workers from assisting federal immigration agents — a move spearheaded by Mayor Elyse Tipton and backed by two councilors. The mayor argues it’s essential to protect residents’ safety and draw a clear line between local and federal law enforcement roles, echoing past resolutions and aligning with a statewide law signed by Maine’s governor last year. The council will debate the ordinance in depth on October 13th, as communities nationwide grapple with how local governments should engage with immigration enforcement.
