DHS's 'Operation Catch of the Day' in Maine targeted immigrants, but primarily detained asylum seekers and individuals without criminal records, contradicting the government's claims. Civil rights groups and local media reported that many detained were already in the legal immigration system. The ACLU of Maine and ILAP filed habeas corpus petitions to challenge the detentions.
