ICE agents wouldn’t provide their names. What are Maine's rules?
David Webbert, a civil rights attorney in Maine, said that federal agents’ refusal to identify themselves can be dangerous, as citizens may unknowingly resist officers, or it can make it easier to impersonate officers.
“If you don’t know who they are, you can’t hold them accountable. That destroys the rule of law,“ Webbert said. “Secret police is not consistent with the rule of law. It’s consistent with a dictatorship.”
