Action Alert:

Urge Your State Legislators to Vote YES on LD 2106!

One of the first actions of the Trump administration was to end longstanding policy prohibiting immigration enforcement at sensitive locations such as schools and hospitals. The previous policy had been in place for decades because of the clear benefits to society as a whole when immigrant communities could send children to school, seek medical care, and access other basic services without fear of enforcement at these places.

LD 2106 puts in place the strongest protections possible at the state level to counteract the federal administration’s policy to allow enforcement at sensitive locations. Using existing 4th Amendment rights, the bill requires immigration officers to have a valid judicial warrant or court order to enter protected areas (unless there is an emergency).   

While people were already afraid to send their children to school and live normal lives given the high levels of immigration enforcement in Maine since the beginning of 2025, the enhanced ICE operation in Maine in January 2026 brought the need for this law into new focus. During the operation we saw ICE actively using schools and bus stops outside of medical centers to stalk people. One mother of four was racially profiled and taken by ICE shortly after dropping a child at school. ICE also profiled and arrested a certified nursing assistant and a mother who worked in an assisted living facility during the operation.  

Before the operation, in September 2025, a parent was arrested in a school driveway right after dropping his child at school – something that sent shockwaves of fear across communities and that ICE has never provided a justification for.
