ILAP and ACLU of Maine file a lawsuit against Immigration & Customs Enforcement for information about its detention and detainee transfer activities in Maine, including their plans to open a new detention facility in Scarborough.
ILAP implements two emergency projects to respond to unexpected legal needs in Maine’s immigrant communities – the Mendez Rojas Project to help more than 150 people apply for asylum under a rare filing extension and the Afghanistan Project to help Mainers with loved ones in Afghanistan and Afghan evacuees resettled in Maine.
