A Maine police officer arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has agreed to voluntarily leave the country, the agency said on Aug. 19.
Jon Luke Evans, a reserve officer with the Old Orchard Beach Police Department and a citizen of Jamaica, was taken into custody on July 25 after his alleged attempt to purchase a firearm raised concerns about his immigration status. Maine is among a handful of states where non-citizens may work in law enforcement.
