ICE Agent Shot Colombian Citizen | Portland Maine News

Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description

A Colombian man, Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero, was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Biddeford—despite having no criminal record and cooperating with immigration authorities. His family plans to sue the U.S. government, claiming the agent had a documented history of violent behavior and mental health issues, yet was still armed and deployed. The agent’s actions, allegedly triggered by a false belief that Guerrero was “weaponizing his car,” contradict court records showing Guerrero was simply driving to work. His widow, heartbroken and struggling to explain his death to their young daughter, says he was a good man who did nothing wrong. The attorney, Ben Gideon, accuses ICE of hiring unqualified agents to instill fear, and questions how such a person could ever be entrusted with a badge and gun. ICE has refused to address its vetting procedures, including handling of domestic violence allegations. The lawsuit’s filing date remains pending, but the family’s grief and outrage are undeniable.
