ICE Agent’s Past Under Fire | Charleston News
Description
A Colombian immigrant, Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero, was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Biddeford—despite being law-abiding and not the target of the operation. His family is preparing to sue the U.S. government, alleging the agent had a documented history of violent behavior and mental health issues, raising serious questions about ICE’s vetting process and whether he should have been armed. The attorney argues the government knowingly hired unqualified personnel as part of a strategy to instill fear, while Homeland Security’s own policy prohibits deadly force unless there’s a credible threat to others—not just to prevent escape. ICE has remained silent on critical questions about background checks, body cameras, and why agents are still allowed to fire into vehicles. The victim’s wife grieves deeply, struggling to explain his death to their young daughter.
