Paul LePage Says ICE Is Deporting His Relative
LePage said ICE should target gang members and criminals as he defended a relative facing deportation and opposed a new cooperation limit.
- On Monday, Paul LePage revealed his son's father-in-law, a legal resident with a work permit, faces deportation because "certain people in Washington" dislike the relative's home country.
- Earlier this year, the Trump administration launched Operation Catch of the Day in Maine, detaining nearly 200 people; 68% of those arrested between January and July had no criminal record.
- In July, ICE agent David Brouillette fatally shot 25-year-old Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero in Biddeford during a traffic stop; neither agent wore a body camera, marking at least the 11th fatal shooting since Trump's inauguration.
- During the same Augusta event, LePage criticized a state law restricting police cooperation with ICE, arguing federal agents should focus on "gang people and the criminals" rather than legal residents.
- The National Immigration Project reports at least 26 deaths in immigration detention centers this year as of September 1, following 33 deaths recorded in 2025.
