LD 1971 was passed by the Maine Senate and House in June 2025 to prevent local Police and Sheriff’s departments from acting on behalf of or under the supervision of ICE to enforce immigration actions including arresting or detaining individuals who are not suspected of criminal activities. Governor Mills refused to sign this bill into law in the last legislative session and will have just 3 days in the new legislative session starting January 7, 2026, to either veto the bill or allow it to become law without her signature. The immoral and illegal actions of ICE throughout the United States and in Maine including arresting parents outside of schools, terrorizing immigrant communities, and attempting to intimidate and assault lawful protestors and those who would document their actions must be resisted. Maine law enforcement should be free to focus on their jobs in keeping the people of Maine safe from crime and not compelled to support immigration enforcement outside of criminal investigations. Let’s come together on Saturday December 13th to demand Governor Mills protect the integrity of Maine law enforcement and allow LD 1971 to become law in January. Act now … time is of the essence! A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
