ICE agent: ‘We’re gonna come back for your whole family’

The Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday that immigration agents had launched “Operation Catch of the Day” in Maine, the latest state to be targeted as part of the Trump administration’s sweeping deportation push.

Footage filmed by Cristian Vaca of Biddeford, Maine shows an agent standing outside his home saying “we’re gonna come back for your whole family.” Vaca, 28, is a roofer who lives with his wife and young son.

Speaking to The Associated Press in Spanish through a translator, Vaca said he was sitting on his couch when he noticed agents outside his home taking photos.

“I’m here legally. I came here in September 2023,” Vaca said, citing his family’s safety and economic opportunity as reasons for the move.
