Federal authorities have ended their immigration enforcement surge in Maine, a state senator said on Thursday, even as Donald Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan insisted that the much bigger operation in Minnesota would continue.
Susan Collins, a Republican, cited a conversation with the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, that the “enhanced operation” in her state of Maine had been wrapped up.
Nicknamed “Operation Catch of the Day”, it has targeted communities in Portland and Lewiston and led to the detention of more 200 people since last week.
