(The Center Square) — Firebrand Republican Paul LePage, a former Maine governor and congressional candidate, is criticizing ICE after his brother-in-law was detained by federal authorities over his immigration status. 

LePage, the GOP nominee in Maine's 2nd Congressional District race, told reporters Wednesday his son's father-in-law is facing deportation amid the Trump administration's crackdown on undocumented migrants.
