Border Patrol arrests 39 across Maine in immigration crackdown
The U.S. Border Patrol has arrested 39 people in Maine during a 10-day targeted enforcement operation focused on immigration violations.
The arrests occurred in Oquossoc, Mechanic Falls, Madawaska, Dresden, Palmyra, Rangeley, Madison, Augusta and Houlton. Those arrested were from Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico, Venezuela, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic and China.
According to a statement from Border Patrol, the individuals face charges under various sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Several also have documented criminal histories, including assault and battery on a family member, criminal possession of a weapon and theft.
One person was charged with reentry after deportation.
All are in custody.
So far this year, Border Patrol agents in Maine have made more immigration-related arrests than in all of 2024.
“The United States Border Patrol will continue ongoing operations to target criminal aliens for arrest, prosecution and removal proceedings as appropriate,” said Craig Shepley, acting chief patrol agent for the Houlton sector.
It wouldn’t be Mother’s Day without a stop at the florist.
According to Fox Business, about 154 million flowers are sold during the week of Mother’s Day. So it’s safe to say it was a busy day for stores like Estabrook’s Maine Garden Center and Nursery.
Plenty of families stopped by to pick out flowers on Sunday, looking to choose the perfect bouquet for their moms.
“I think Mother’s Day is tradition, you know, and so it’s great to see families here. We have a lot of new families that have come today for the first time with their young children and their mother. Watching the young kids and seeing how excited they are—their eyes light up at all the beautiful flowers,” Tom Estabrook, president of Estabrook’s, said.
Estabrook says Mother’s Day tends to be a great kickoff to the spring season.
