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 CitizenReporting.OAG@maine.gov.
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.
