Court records raise doubts that ICE is detaining the ‘worst of the worst’ in Maine

Federal officials say more than 100 people have been detained statewide in what ICE dubbed “Operation Catch of the Day,” a reference to the fishing industry. ICE said in a statement that it was arresting the “worst of the worst,” including “child abusers and hostage takers.” Court records show some were violent felons.
