“Maine already has a law on the books that authorizes damages against federal officials who deprive people of their constitutional rights. Carvajal-Muñoz sued his ICE kidnappers under this statute, alleging that they stopped, arrested, and imprisoned him on the basis of race in violation of the Fourth and Fifth amendments. If his suit moves forward, he will likely uncover the identities of the masked agents who participated in his abduction. He has demanded both compensatory damages as well as punitive damages ‘to deter future unconstitutional conduct.’”
