Locals Push Scarborough To Stop Local Police From Cooperating With Feds At Ice Facility

SCARBOROUGH, Maine — Locals protesting a new federal immigrant detention facility want the town to pass an ordinance that would prevent the local police department from cooperating with U.S. immigration officials. The group De-ICE Maine, which organized against construction of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, holding facility at 40 Manson Libby Road in Scarborough after plans quietly passed last fall, see the local path as a legal tool against the functioning of the ICE facility, which is nearly complete. “We have not yet been able to close the facility, but we can make it impossible for ICE to do business as usual in Scarborough,” De-ICE Maine posted on Sunday.
