The Reality Facing #AsylumSeekers in #Maine

Posted By: Nancy English, January 02, 2026

Excerpt:

"Caring City

Portland has proven its support time and time again. The City opened the Portland Exposition Building in 2019 and again in 2023 to help immigrants seeking refuge. Helped by City workers, local nonprofits, and volunteers, many found housing and received work permits. But now, grants and federal support are drying up.

'Things are really stressful and chaotic,' Stein said. 'The rules keep changing all the time. The fees asylum seekers pay have had huge increases.'

As she talked to me, she read a news alert on her phone about a change in the duration of work permits. From December 4th, newly issued work permits will expire after 18 months, instead of the previous five years.

Lives Disrupted

The Immigrant Legal Aid Program (#ILAP) offers immigrants legal support and far more. Lisa Parisio, ILAP’s Policy Director, said, 'People in Maine are having their immigration statuses and protections stripped away, losing access to work permits, and immigration enforcement has dramatically increased.'

Families left without bread winners, possibly without a vehicle or other resources, are trying to get on with their lives.

'Be as prepared as possible,' advised attorney Jenny Beverly, an immigration attorney working at Haven Law in Portland, Maine. 'Give a trusted friend a copy of your complete asylum application, with copies of entry documents, passports, ‘Notice to Appear,’ evidence of filing (a receipt given on acceptance of an asylum application).'

Family will need all that and more simply to find someone detained by federal agents. At the very least, she said, 'Share your alien number, birthplace, birthdate, and your full name.' "

#Mamdani Signs Executive Order Requiring #ICE Agents to Get #JudicialWarrants in #NYC

“ICE is more than a rogue agency—it is a manifestation of the abuse of power,” the mayor said.

Excerpt: "As the #Trump administration claims federal agents have the authority to raid Americans’ homes and carry out arrests without a warrant, New York City Mayor #ZohranMamdani signed an executive order on Friday barring Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other agencies from entering properties without getting a warrant from a judge.

"It was part of a suite of policies Mamdani announced at an interfaith breakfast to reaffirm New York’s status as a #SanctuaryCity amid President Donald Trump’s surges of immigration agents to other US cities, which have resulted in extrajudicial killings and rampant civil rights violations by agents.

" 'Across this country, day after day, we bear witness to cruelty that staggers the conscience. Masked agents, paid by our own tax dollars, violate the #Constitution and visit terror upon our neighbors,' Mamdani said. 'That is why this morning, I am signing an executive order that will strengthen our city’s protection of our fellow New Yorkers from abusive immigration enforcement.' "

'An impossibility': Negotiations to reform ICE sputter as shutdown looms for DHS

Congress has two weeks to fund DHS as Democrats demand changes to rein in #ICE and #CBP. It's not going well. The top Senate Republican doubts they'll reach a deal in time.

Excerpt: "Another complication is that Republicans have demands of their own, most notably cutting off funds for 'sanctuary cities,' which refuse to turn in undocumented immigrants to federal authorities.

" 'We’re not going to do anything that kneecaps ICE’s ability to do their jobs and enforce the laws that both Republicans and Democrats have voted on and presidents of both parties have enforced,' said Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo. [THEN WHY DON'T YOU IMPEACH THE CRIMINAL IN CHIEF!!!] 'If you want to have a real conversation, to me, it starts with ending #SanctuaryCities.' [Um, no!]

"Democrats firmly oppose that idea, saying cities are safer if residents can report crimes without fear of deportation."

Trump calls on Congress to pass legislation ending sanctuary policies

The president also called on Democratic leaders to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

By Jacob Wendler, 01/25/2026 09:12 PM EST

President Donald Trump on Sunday called on Congress to pass legislation to end sanctuary jurisdiction policies as tensions run high over the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old man in Minneapolis, the latest violent confrontation between ICE officers and demonstrators across the country.

In a Sunday evening Truth Social post, Trump wrote that he was “calling on the United States Congress to immediately pass Legislation to END Sanctuary Cities” and asking for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and all Democratic mayors and governors “to formally cooperate with the Trump Administration to enforce our Nation’s Laws, rather than resist and stoke the flames of Division, Chaos, and Violence.”

The call comes just a day after federal agents fatally shot Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti during a tense confrontation. The incident prompted Walz and Frey to once again urge the Trump administration to walk back its deployment of several thousand immigration enforcement officers to the state.

The requests from Minnesota’s elected officials for federal agents to leave the state reached a fever pitch after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot Renee Good in her car in Minneapolis earlier this month.

Since then, Minnesota Democrats have maintained that federal officials have created chaos by surging immigration enforcement in the state.

Walz said last week he had received a subpoena as part of an investigation into him and other Democrats in the state after Trump warned the state’s leaders in a social media post that “THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!”

Walz and Frey’s offices did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
