February 5, 2026 : ICE in Maine
Youthful Protests. High school students across the state have taken to streets and bridges to rally against ICE in Maine. Here, a large group of Gorham High School students were allowed to leave classes for a 20-minute controlled protest. Observers at DKA's Stand Outs have also reported seeing more young people at the weekly rallies. Steve Sawyer, DKA ICE monitor, notes, "It appears that the intensity of the abductions may have eased somewhat over the weekend. They are still occurring, but the number seems to be less anecdotally. What has not lessened, though, are the needs of the families of the detained. Presente Maine indicates that the requests for assistance is still overwhelming."
