This article details allegations that government officials, in coordination with far-right and pro-Israel organizations, have targeted pro-Palestine activists for deportation. Organizations like Betar and Canary Mission have reportedly provided lists of foreign nationals to federal authorities, leading to arrests and detention. One such case involves Khalil, a legal U.S. permanent resident and married U.S. citizen, who was detained for 100 days and faces deportation.

Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson has criticized Senator Susan Collins following the fatal shooting of a 26-year-old Colombian man by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Biddeford, Maine. Jackson, who advocates for abolishing ICE, stated that Collins’ vote to send billions to the agency without reforms makes her accountable for what he described as “terror.” Critics, including other Democratic candidates, have joined Jackson in calling for Collins to be held responsible for funding ICE, especially after this incident and a similar death in Texas. While Senator Collins has called for a thorough investigation, critics argue that a single phone call to cease non-urgent vehicle stops is insufficient given her past funding votes.
