Refugees should should be, 'given a loan', to the value of what it costs to accommodate them and repay it on terms similar to Student Loans.

#SacoME - #ICE arrested Angolan man on his way home from visiting newborn in the hospital, pastor says

More than 200 people have been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement since enforcement surged last week, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

by Emily Allen, January 26, 2026

Excerpt: "An Angolan #AsylumSeeker and father of four was detained by U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement on Friday evening after visiting his newborn child at the hospital, his pastor said.

"Senior Minister Scott Cousineau from First Parish Saco Church said he was 'shocked' by the arrest of the long-time parishioner, who he only identified as #Makengo. Cousineau declined to share Makengo’s last name without the family’s permission.

" 'She’s afraid to go out of the house, because what if something happens to her?' Cousineau said of Makengo’s wife. 'Then what happens to the children?'

"He said Makengo has been with First Parish for more than eight years, joining almost immediately after he arrived in the U.S. Cousineau said Makengo is one of the church’s greeters who welcome people before services and his young daughter played Mary in the church’s Christmas play last year.

"Cousineau said that he believes Makengo did 'everything he was supposed' for his asylum case.

" 'He’s not among the worst of the worst, he’s really among the best of the best,' Cousineau said."
