ICE Officer Shoots Colombian in Maine | US News
Description
An ICE officer fatally shot a 26-year-old Colombian national, Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, in Biddeford, Maine, after his vehicle allegedly attempted to flee during a surveillance operation. The incident, which marks the second deadly ICE encounter in a week and the ninth death since Trump-era enforcement surged, sparked massive protests demanding ICE leave the state. Conflicting reports emerged — while DHS claims the vehicle fled, a senator was initially told the officer feared a weapon was being used. The officer is on leave as federal and state authorities investigate. Footage shows bullet-riddled windows and officers removing the body, while neighbors described hearing gunshots and seeing the victim bleeding, reportedly saying “I tried to stop.” Advocates say Durán Guerrero was authorized to work in the U.S. and lived with his family; ICE declined to comment on tactics but said it’s reviewing procedures.
