WESTBROOK — As she drove around town on Thursday morning, Liz Eisele McLellan’s head was on a swivel, scanning the streets for any sign of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Every Connecticut and New Hampshire license plate, every car with tinted windows — especially gray Ford Explorers — and every driver wearing a mask made her suspicious.

Her phone buzzed with messages from a group chat of 50 to 100 other community members who McLellan said have taken it upon themselves to follow and document immigration enforcement.

It was a quiet morning compared to Wednesday, when it was impossible to drive down Main Street without seeing someone who was dressed like an ICE agent.

“They were like locusts,” McLellan said.

It was on Spring Street where she spotted a masked man driving a car with a Massachusetts license plate.

1. Susan C is not concerned.......

2. It is a crime

IXE is committing crimes, they cannot threaten to arrest someone for nothing, they do not have the authority to arrest people that are not on the warrants they are serving, period.

3. Why are even

ICE should be the "the catch of the day?" WTF!!!!

4. What are they even doing in Maine anyway?

There are not many immigrants living there.

5. But a number of them...

Are refugees from Somalia. They've been here for a while and most don't realize what they go through for a couple years before they can come here.

The governor has set up tip lines for IXE abuses and reporting their presence. The state is doing a lot of what Minnesota is doing, both government and civilians.

6. She's a terrorist now.

So are all the people in her phone contacts and the Google, etc.
