An illegal alien from Ecuador was arrested in Maine on Sunday for operating under the influence (OUI), and is now being held on an immigration detainer by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), booking records show.
Luis Garcia Cajilema, 34, was arrested shortly after 11 p.m. on Sunday by Maine State Police at a residence in Gray, and was transported to the Cumberland County Jail.
Jail booking records indicate Cajilema was charged with OUI (alcohol), a Class D offense.
He is currently being held at the Cumberland County Jail on an federal immigration hold by ICE.
ICE’s inmate locator shows that Cajilema is an Ecuadorian national.
A Maine Department of Public Safety spokesperson told the Maine Wire on Wednesday that the arrest stemmed from a traffic complaint, after several drivers called 911 to report that a Chevy Express work van was swerving all over the road and cutting people off.
State Troopers were able to locate the vehicle at the Liberty Avenue residence in Gray, where Cajilema was arrested. The spokesperson said that Cajilema had an Ecuador license.
In April 2024, an illegal alien caused a fatal car crash on I-95 in April, leaving an Albion woman dead and her husband in critical condition.
According to the Maine State Police crash report, finalized in late September 2024, the illegal alien, 23-year-old Oguzhan Cildir was speeding and driving recklessly at the time of the crash. The report also indicated that Cildir had an active Class C Massachusetts commercial driver’s license.

Invest in deportation. Janet’s delusional dreams of repopulating the state of Maine w/ ex-patriot thuggery is a total disaster on all fronts. Leading the state right straight to hell in a handbasket.
very disapointed in the deportation effort, waiting for them to get arrested and then deporting them is not what i voted for! Go to these large companys that feed snd house them and end the corruption… this is a joke!
Finally some good news. Glad the state police are holding people for ICE.
