Our thoughts and prayers go out to Tuan’s family and friends. He is another community member that has passed while in immigration detention. 🙏

A Vietnamese immigrant died in ICE custody last week, according to officials, marking the 46th detainee death during the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

In the know!

Previously any male American/Naturalized citizen arriving at their 18th birthday was required to “sign up for the draft”. Now, it will be done for you! This will alleviate any incurred fines/charges for not registering within the required time! 🫡

NEW AUTOMATIC DRAFT REGISTRATION | Automatic registration of men potentially eligible for the military draft will take effect by December, according to the government agency that maintains a database of who could be called up to serve in a crisis.

The new rule, mandated by defense policy legislation passed by Congress last year, will register men automatically rather than require them to register themselves within 30 days of their 18th birthdays.

Our communities are being broken apart, families once again being separated. The refugee and resettlement program failed. It failed and continues to fail families and especially children. It is time for all of us to have a voice. Please call your representatives and tell them to sign on and pass this bill. We can do this together!🙏🙏

We see you Kevin! 🫶🏻

In February 2026, a historic bill entered Congress: the Southeast Asian Deportation Relief Act (SEADRA). Though its name may sound generic, the lives it touches number in the thousands, and the story behind it spans decades of war, exile, survival, and resistance. SEADRA is not just legislation; it....

Rumors and news stories are claiming ICE will be pulling back from full blown operations, like the one recently. Please continue to practice safety and be aware of your surroundings. There is no confirmation at this time that any of this is true or happening. ICE will still be present in Maine and detaining folks.

Carry your legal documents. Stay home if needed. There are orgs delivering food and items. Reach out if you and your family is in need. We will coordinate accordingly! 🙏

A Daily Call Log Report of Maine Immigrant Resource Hub & Referral Hotline for January 20, 2026.

This start of an ICE surge in Maine named by the agency "Operation Catch of the Day," was a 3000% increase in calls to the Hotline.

This is just a snip of the call data. There were 534 total calls that fit into these 5 categories. There were actually 870 calls that day. Of those, 710 selected a language option (not all calls do). Most all calls not included in the 534 referred to were considered "bad faith" calls by white supremacists who announced they would try to cause problems on the Hotline.

ICE agents have always been in Maine. We are now seeing an increase here in the State as of today. People have been detained at check ins, ICE is going to homes and schools. Please educate your children on what to do and who to call. Have emergency family plans in place. Remember you do not have to open the door without a warrant. We hope you all stay safe during these uncharted times! 🙏

What's being done to prepare for increased ICE activity that's expected in Maine? Tuesday, live at 11 am & again at 8 pm. What questions do you have? Comment here!

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 We are thankful this law will be passed🙌🏻🙌🏻

Too many communities are feeling the impact of racial profiling, being kidnapped on the street and being separated from families!

LD 1971 will be enacted into law.
Our state has made it clear that local law enforcement will not make dangerous promises to ICE or participate in practices that harm immigrant communities.

This matters. It protects families, builds trust, and affirms that safety and dignity are not conditional.
Maine chose people over fear.
