Maine’s Democrat Governor Janet Mills has given her approval to a law that prevents police in her state from enforcing immigration laws or aiding federal law enforcement.
This week, Mills said she will allow LD 1971 to become law because she feels Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have engaged in “unacceptable actions,” though she still feels the law is “imperfect,” according to WMTW-TV.

In an op ed excusing her actions, Mills called ICE “dangerous” and attacked federal immigration officials for arresting illegal aliens who otherwise have “no criminal records.”
Calling law-breaking illegals in Maine “immigrants,” Mills lamented that they are “wondering if they will pay a devastating price for believing in the welcoming promise of this country every time they drop their kids off at school to go to work to make a living for themselves and their family.”

While allowing this anti-law enforcement bill to pass into law, the left-wing governor also repealed a previous governor’s executive order mandating that state law enforcement cooperate with ICE and federal officials.

LD 1971 was introduced by Somali immigrant Deqa Dhalac, who became a Democrat member of the state House of Representatives from Portland. In her introduction of the bill she engaged in identity politics and celebrated herself as the “first immigrant, black, Muslim, woman” elected to office in Maine.
