(The Center Square) — Maine's top federal law enforcement official is warning demonstrators who plan to protest against a looming immigration crackdown in the state not to interfere with authorities. 

With the state's top Democrats issuing public warnings in the past week that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities may soon descend on the state's two largest cities, Portland, and Lewiston, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maine Andrew Benson has issued a rare statement cautioning demonstrators against "unlawful obstruction."
