U.S. Launches "Operation Catch of the Day" in Maine

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has begun a new enforcement operation in Maine. A DHS spokesperson confirmed the action this week. The operation is called "Catch of the Day." Its stated goal is to find and arrest non-citizens living in Maine who have committed crimes. DHS did not release specific numbers of arrests or locations. The agency described it as a targeted effort, not a general immigration sweep. Maine has recently seen an increase in migrant arrivals. State officials have asked the federal government for more support. The operation is ongoing. DHS says it focuses on individuals who are both in the country without legal permission and have criminal records.
