Biography
Alexander Jay Boyce was arrested during an October 5, 2025 protest outside the South Portland ICE office after federal officers alleged that he spat on an officer’s helmet. He was released after his October 7 initial appearance.
Original announcement clarification
The October 7, 2025 U.S. Attorney announcement describes an allegation that Boyce spat on an officer’s helmet, not that he kicked the officer. It reports his immediate October 5 arrest and release on conditions after his October 7 initial appearance. The eight-year figure is maximum potential punishment, not a sentence imposed. The complaint’s allegations are not findings of guilt.
