ICE Shatters Car Window in Portland Arrest, Leaving Mother and 1-Month-Old in Car

Overview

• The Jan. 21 stop on Forest Avenue occurred during ICE’s Maine surge known as Operation Catch of the Day.
• Bystander video shows shattered glass inside the vehicle, and witnesses say they removed the crying infant from the car seat.
• Barry, 38, is described by his attorney as an asylum seeker with no known criminal record who arrived in 2023.
• He is being held at the Plymouth County Correctional Facility in Massachusetts, according to ICE’s detainee locator.
• ICE has not addressed questions about the tactic, and Sen. Susan Collins says the administration agreed to de-escalate the surge after more than 200 arrests statewide.
