A Cumberland County (Portland, Maine) corrections officer has been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Sheriff Kevin Joyce confirmed at a Thursday afternoon news conference where he criticized the agency’s tactics.
The corrections officer was stopped Wednesday night in Portland, according to Joyce and an eyewitness.
The sheriff said he talked with an ICE supervisor shortly after the man was detained, but all the supervisor told him was that the officer, who has not been publicly named, was living in the country illegally.
Joyce said the officer’s background check came up “squeaky clean” when he was hired in February 2024, and that his paperwork showed he was allowed to work in the country until April 2029.
