OLD ORCHARD BEACH, Maine (AP) rCo A Maine police officer arrested by immigration authorities has agreed to voluntarily leave the country,
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Monday.

ICE arrested Old Orchard Beach Police Department reserve Officer Jon
Luke Evans, of Jamaica, on July 25, as part of the agency's effort to
step up immigration enforcement. Officials with the town and police
department have said federal authorities previously told them Evans was legally authorized to work in the U.S.

An ICE representative reached by telephone told The Associated Press on
Monday that a judge has granted voluntary departure for Evans and that
he could leave as soon as that day. The representative did not provide
other details about Evans' case.

Evans' arrest touched off a dispute between Old Orchard Beach officials
and ICE. Police Chief Elise Chard has said the department was notified
by federal officials that Evans was legally permitted to work in the
country, and that the town submitted information via the Department of Homeland SecurityrCOs E-Verify program prior to EvansrCO employment.
Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin then accused
the town of rCLreckless reliancerCY on the department's E-Verify program.
