Former Maine Gov. Paul LePage, a Republican congressional candidate and longtime supporter of stricter immigration enforcement, revealed that his son's father-in-law is facing deportation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) despite holding a valid work permit, raising questions about the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and its impact on families with longstanding ties to the United States.
LePage made the disclosure during a campaign event. The former two-term governor is running for Maine's open 2nd Congressional District seat against Democratic State Auditor Matt Dunlap in November.
