Jon Luke Evans, a Jamaican national and reserve police officer in Maine, has agreed to voluntarily leave the United States following his arrest by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for immigration violations. Evans had overstayed his visa by two years after initially being authorized to work in the U.S. He was discovered after attempting to illegally purchase a firearm. The case has drawn attention to the town's reliance on the federal E-Verify system, which Homeland Security described as "reckless." Evans' voluntary departure follows his arrest last month and marks the resolution of the immigration violation issue.
