    An eleventh person was just killed by immigration agents in our streets under the second Trump administration. This is a developing situation.

    At 8 a.m. this morning ICE shot and killed someone in their car in Biddeford, Maine. The victim has been identified as a 26-year-old man from Colombia who, according to the Maine Immigrant Rights Coalition, was authorized to work in the United States. This is the latest senseless killing by Trump’s immigration enforcement, following killings in Houston, Minneapolis, and elsewhere.

    The White House and Republican majority in congress have injected an unprecedented amount of tax dollars into ICE. With their bloated budget, Stephen Miller and Trump have pivoted ICE and DHS away from the border and into city streets – breaking into homes, smashing car windows, and illegally murdering working people on American soil.

    At noon, Sen. Angus King said he was told by Homeland Security that the person who was killed was a man in his 20’s who had been given an order to leave the country. He also said DHS told him that the person “weaponized the vehicle” and that they were shot by an ICE agent.

    The Maine Immigrant Rights Coalition identified the victim as a 26-year-old man from Colombia. Mufalo Chitam, the group’s executive director, told CNN that the man was on his way to work. The group said the man was authorized to work in the US and was issued a social security number.

    The vehicle was registered to a Jhonathan Ramires of Pool Street in Biddeford. ABC News spoke with someone who said they saw the person who was shot fixing his brakes in the parking lot at that address.

    It is not clear if Ramires was the person who was shot.


  • Article Update 2:

    A family friend told Maine’s Total Coverage Joan Sebastian Guerrero was killed in the shooting Monday morning. She says Guerrero leaves behind a wife, 3-year-old child, and sister.

    Surveillance video shows the moments leading up to and including the deadly ICE shooting in Biddeford, Maine. The video shows the white car that was shot at entering the intersection and beginning to turn right in a circle.

    The video then zooms in on where the car comes to a stop, and officers can be seen removing the person from the car.
