JUST IN | Maine has created a tip line to report “intimidating or excessive behavior used by federal agents” in the state.

The Maine attorney general has set up an email tip line to document civil rights violations and excessive force during the Trump administration's immigration enforcement surge. They wrote that ”evidence of constitutionally-deficient, excessive, and intimidating enforcement tactics is quickly emerging in our own state” in a press release announcing the opening of the tip line.

It may be especially relevant for immigrant communities, including Lewiston’s large Somali population, who have historically been disproportionately affected by federal immigration enforcement.

The move follows similar actions in other states like Colorado and California where Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have been deployed and are under scrutiny for tactics used during detainments and interactions with protestors.

The Maine attorney general has set up an email tip line to document civil rights violations and excessive force during the Trump administration's immigration enforcement surge.

The move follows similar actions in other states where Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have been deployed and are under scrutiny for tactics used during detainments and interactions with protestors.

The alleged civil rights violations in Minnesota and Illinois became the rationale for lawsuits aimed at curtailing ICE operations.

According to a release from the Maine attorney general, the email tip line will be an open source collection of alleged abuses. The office asks people to be specific about the time, date and location of what they witnessed. It's also asking people to not send photos or videos, but to indicate if they have them.

The office says the tips could become fodder for a future investigation. The emails will also be subject to Maine's public records law.

Those with tips should email them to [e-mail].

I can't see the xitter part, I know there are many others who have it turned off for DU for moral reasons.

AUGUSTA, Maine (WGME) -- The Maine Attorney General’s Office is urging Mainers to report intimidating and excessive federal enforcement behavior in the state amid the ICE crackdown.

According to Maine Attorney General’s Office, there have been reports of apparent civil rights violations and improper use of force by federal agents who have been sent into areas targeted for immigration enforcement by the federal government.

With ICE launching "Operation Catch of the Day" in Maine, the AG’s office says there is evidence of “constitutionally deficient, excessive, and intimidating enforcement tactics” quickly emerging in the state.

In order to better assess the impacts, the Office of the Maine Attorney General has established a dedicated email address for Mainers to share information with the office for potential investigation.

Mainers can report intimidating and excessive federal enforcement behavior to [e-mail].

The email address will be monitored for documentation of potential violations of the Maine and federal Constitutions, as well as Maine laws such as the Maine Civil Rights Act.

“We invite the public to submit any descriptions of observed intimidating or excessive behavior used by federal agents. Information that would be helpful to provide includes date, location of incident, names of any individuals involved as actors or witnesses, if known, and contact information. We will not be accepting photographs and videos through this email address. However, please let us know if photographs or videos are available and provide contact information so the office can arrange to obtain copies if deemed necessary,” the Office of the Maine Attorney General said.
