Maine police officer detained by ICE agrees to voluntary departure

A Maine police reserve officer, Jon Luke Evans, was arrested by ICE for overstaying his visa and attempting to buy a firearm unlawfully. He has agreed to voluntarily leave the U.S., following a dispute over his employment authorization, which was initially believed to be valid based on E-Verify checks. Evans' departure is at his own expense to avoid deportation, amid ongoing tensions between local authorities and ICE over immigration enforcement and employment verification.
