Fatal ICE shooting in Biddeford, Maine

newsJul 13, 202611439,383

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers shot and killed a 26-year-old Colombian man in Biddeford, Maine, around 7:20 a.m. EDT, according to NewsNation and The Hill. Local advocates and reports identified the victim as a 26-year-old father who was authorized to work in the United States and was reportedly facing a final order of deportation. Sen. Susan Collins called for a “full and impartial investigation,” saying Biddeford police secured the scene and that the FBI is investigating. Maine Gov. Janet Mills said Maine State Police were at the scene working with the Attorney General’s Office, the state Chief Medical Examiner, and federal officials. Federal officials from the Department of Homeland Security have not yet commented. The shooting follows other recent deadly uses of force by federal immigration agents, including a killing in Houston last week that has prompted congressional and family calls for investigation.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

“The motorist killed by ICE officers in a Maine shooting Monday was not the target of the warrant the officers were executing, Sen. Angus King said Homeland Security Secretary Mullin told him.”

They shot him in front of his 3 year old daughter - who will forever be traumatized in ways beyond both comprehension and articulation- and it wasn’t even the person they were looking for? (Who they also should not have killed, should you need the obvious spelled out)

“A federal immigration officer fatally shot a motorist in Maine on Monday, the second time in a week that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have used deadly force and at least the ninth time since Trump began his immigration crackdown.” Of course they weren’t wearing body cameras.🙈

I’m sure the victim probably possessed above the legally allowed amount of melanin.

Murder, by any other name.

While this makes it worse, shooting the target of an arrest warrant is also very, very bad. Not something we should normalize.

given the weekends events we shouldn’t lose sight of who made sure Trump has a fully funded Gestapo

Translation: ICE is running around making "Kavanaugh stops" by racistly profiling people for "looking illegal," i.e., not white. This week alone, they have shot dead two people who were not the target of their (BS administrative) warrants. This must stop and only we can do it.

Almost like ICE, which recruited anyone who hated brown people, knows there won't be consequences for shooting random people dead in the street, and are just shooting people in the street when they feel like it in the process of filling their concentration camps.

Another person dead at the hands of ICE — just days after Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s murder. We will not remain silent as the Trump administration immunizes lawlessness. There must be accountability and there must be a full investigation.

I’m considering going out to Maine for ICE. If you’re in Maine and have any tips, my DMs are open. If you are not familiar with my work, I’ve covered the surges of federal immigration agents for the last year.
