- A 26-year-old Colombian man was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Biddeford, Maine, though he was not the intended target.
- This incident followed a similar fatal shooting of a 52-year-old Mexican man in Houston just six days earlier.
- Authorities claimed self-defense while witnesses offered conflicting reports about the circumstances of the shootings.
- Many ICE agents remain without body cameras despite public outcry and prior DHS promises to equip them.
The extrajudicial killing of another community member by ICE agents in Maine — just days after the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston — is a devastating and unacceptable escalation of violence. These are not isolated incidents; they reflect an immigration enforcement system that has become increasingly militarized, unaccountable, and willing to use deadly force against the very communities it is supposed to serve.— Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), in a statement.
