"Federal law enforcement agencies have the right and responsibility to enforce federal laws, including immigration laws, and a targeted law enforcement operation focused on individuals who have engaged in criminal activity serves the public interest, Golden wrote on social media. Golden reminded the Department of Homeland Security that it needed to lay off legal U.S. citizens and follow due process when it does make arrests."
"DHS should prioritize its enforcement actions on public safety and must themselves comply with federal laws. Immigrants with legal status should not be targeted, court authorities should be obeyed and due process must be followed. Free speech and lawful protest are protected rights, but regardless of how anyone feels about immigration policy or ICE's tactics, people must not obstruct or impede law enforcement activities."
Rep. Jared Golden supported Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Maine to remove individuals in the country illegally who have engaged in criminal activity. He said federal law enforcement agencies have the right and responsibility to enforce federal laws, including immigration laws, and that targeted enforcement on criminal noncitizens serves the public interest. He urged the Department of Homeland Security to avoid wrongfully arresting legal U.S. citizens and to follow due process. He said DHS should prioritize public safety, comply with federal law, avoid targeting lawful immigrants, and warned protesters not to obstruct law enforcement or amplify unverified reports.
