Maine
Entries whose effect landed somewhere in Maine (ME) — a city, a county, a campus, a detention facility — whichever government acted. Federal conduct inside Maine counts here.
This is not the same set as Maine's jurisdiction page, which records the 0 entries where Maine's own government was the acting authority, wherever those events happened. The two overlap and neither contains the other: place and power are separate facts, and statewide acts appear there and not here.

Secret Service, Trump White House barred JD Vance critic from Bangor event over her online criticism, lawsuit alleges
On May 14, 2026, armed U.S. Secret Service agents and other officials organizing Vice President JD Vance's public event in Bangor, Maine, identified Amanda McGonigle — creator of the @CatsOnACouch social media accounts that mock Vance — by name in the registration line and denied her entry despite her having registered and received official guest confirmation from the Executive Office of the President. McGonigle sued Secret Service Director Sean Curran, Office of Presidential Advance Director John Hiller, the Executive Office of the President, and the Secret Service, alleging First Amendment retaliation and viewpoint discrimination.
Federal prosecutors misreported ICE detainee's Maine location to court, nearly stripping habeas jurisdiction
Court filings entered Jan. 26, 2026 revealed that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Maine, relying on incorrect location information from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told a federal judge that immigration detainee Cristian Yair de la Cruz Guillermo had been moved to Massachusetts -- which would have stripped the Maine court of habeas jurisdiction over his case -- before correcting the claim the same day to say he remained in Fort Fairfield, Maine. U.S. District Judge John Woodcock Jr. then issued a temporary restraining order barring CBP, ICE, DOJ and DHS officials from moving Guillermo out of state, citing a similar location misreport in an unrelated detainee's case.

ICE removed all detainees from Cumberland County Jail and DHS canceled its housing contract hours after sheriff criticized ICE's tactics
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement removed all roughly 50 federal detainees from the Cumberland County Jail in Portland, Maine, on January 22, 2026, and the Department of Homeland Security formally canceled the jail's detainee-housing contract the next day, hours after Sheriff Kevin Joyce publicly criticized ICE's arrest of a county corrections officer as "bush league." ICE Deputy Assistant Director Patricia Hyde said on the record that the cancellation followed Joyce "criticizing those who actually protect our communities," and in the same rushed transfer ICE moved detainees in violation of standing federal court orders, prompting two judges to order several immediate releases.
ICE agents smashed a lawfully present driver's car window and tased him during a Portland, Maine stop
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents stopped civil engineer Juan Sebastián Carvajal-Muñoz while he drove to work in Portland, Maine, on January 22, 2026, smashed his car window with a crowbar, and dragged him out at taser-point after he showed a REAL ID through the window. Agents held Carvajal-Muñoz, who holds a valid H-1B visa through September 2027, for roughly 16 hours — moving him toward an ICE facility in Burlington, Massachusetts — before releasing him that night. He sued ICE agent Jack Cory Ravencamp and four then-unnamed agents in April 2026 under the Maine Civil Rights Act, alleging the stop was based on his race.
