ICE AGENT KILLS MAN IN MAINE — SECOND SHOOTING DEATH IN FIVE DAYS
Second fatal shooting in a week. The state did the telling; ICE went silent.
A federal immigration agent shot and killed a man in Biddeford, Maine on Monday morning. The Maine Attorney General’s office said the man drove toward the officer as he tried to flee. A local advocacy group identified him as a 26-year-old Colombian man who was authorized to work in the United States and held a Social Security number; a senator briefed on the case said he had been ordered to leave the country. The FBI is investigating.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin told Maine Senator Angus King the shooting would be investigated — and that the agents wore no body cameras. Governor Janet Mills said state police are cooperating with local and federal officials. Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau had announced the death hours before ICE said anything.
