Last update: 7 hours ago

Immigration & Public Safety in Maine: New laws taking effect Wednesday limit when Maine police and jails can cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, including restrictions on sharing information and holding people for ICE in civil cases, with exceptions for certain criminal investigations. Local Governance: In Gorham, Amazon’s proposed 24/7 “last mile” delivery warehouse drew a crowd at Planning Board meetings, with dozens of residents speaking out on impacts and access. Transportation: MaineDOT says it will move forward with transportation projects after Gov. Janet Mills committed $136 million to cover a capital shortfall. State Policy & Due Process: Lawmakers say new measures aim to strengthen due process around ICE encounters at sensitive locations, including requiring warrants for enforcement at places where people expect safety. Community & Crime: Avon police are investigating a custody-exchange shooting that left a mother critically injured; investigators include the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office and Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit. Sports: Maine Women’s Hockey introduced new head coach Alex Gettens, calling it a multi-year rebuild focused on relationships and recruiting. Arts & Culture: Gov. Mills kicked off Maine’s Wild Blueberry Weekend in Dresden, with farms and businesses offering special events statewide. Maine Spotlight: A 11-year-old Springvale singer-songwriter, Madilynn Treasure, earned a Josie Music Award nomination.
