Last week, Immigration & Customs Enforcement set into motion a surge in activity in Maine, targeting a goal of detaining 1,400 people. By Friday, more than 100 people have been arrested, with Portland and Lewiston seeing the most activity. Residents and state leaders have expressed anger, fear—and some support—over ICE's methods. We find out where things stand, and what's in store for the days ahead.

Jonathan was born in Monsey, New York. A field trip to Washington, DC when he was in 7th grade started him on his circuitous path to a career in public radio. The trip inspired a love of politics and led to his desire to one day call DC home. After graduating from Grinnell College, he worked on a couple of campaigns in Iowa (presidential and congressional) and moved to Washington, DC.
