Colombian National Identified After Fatal Shooting During Alleged Incident Involving ICE Agents in Maine
Hundreds marched after the shooting, and residents said recent immigration raids left about 200 people detained in southern Maine.
- On Monday morning in Biddeford, Maine, a federal immigration agent fatally shot Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a 26-year-old Colombian man, during an enforcement operation; agents were executing an arrest warrant, though Guerrero was not the target.
- Recent ICE enforcement actions in Maine, including 'Operation Catch of the Day,' preceded the shooting, which mirrors a Houston case from last week involving vehicular escalation during arrests.
- At the intersection of Pool Street and Hill Street, witnesses reported agents rammed Guerrero's vehicle and shouted 'weapon' before firing; the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general has assumed control of the investigation.
- By midday Monday, hundreds of residents rallied at Mechanics Park and occupied the local office of Sen. Susan Collins to demand accountability regarding ICE funding and enforcement presence in their community.
- Under the Trump Administration, federal immigration agents have been involved in 10 fatal shootings, including the Biddeford incident, as Maine officials call for an impartial review and the agent remains on administrative leave.
