NewzFormer Maine Governor Paul LePage, who is running for Congress in the state’s 2nd Congressional District to succeed outgoing Democratic Representative Jared Golden, announced on Monday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is deporting his son’s father-in-law.
Speaking to reporters, LePage described the deportation as "not right," explaining that his relative is being deported because he arrived in the United States without proper authorization.
