The chief of police in a resort town in Maine has called for an investigation into the arrest by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement of one of its officers

The ICE arrest of a police officer in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, who the agency claims was in the country unlawfully, has sparked a days-long exchange of blame between the resort town's police department and DHS.

Federal officials arrested a Maine police officer they said overstayed his visa. His department said DHS had earlier verified the officer’s work eligibility.
