Maine News Wednesday July 29

Maine Morning Star -  As President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement tactics face renewed scrutiny after the fatal shooting of a man in Biddeford, new Maine laws take effect Wednesday that prevent local resources and agencies from being used to support mass deportation efforts.

Local police and jails are restricted in how they can work with federal immigration agents, while those agents are now banned from entering non-public places within public schools, state libraries and certain hospitals without a judicial warrant. Tenants also have new protections against the disclosure of their personal information.

Maine legislators passed these measures last session in order to counter the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda. Some plans had to be walked back from more ambitious proposals, given that state law cannot dictate the actions of federal authorities when they are performing their lawful duties under the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause.
