Maine residents took to the streets to protest the latest ICE-related shooting after an ICE agent fatally shot a Colombian national during an immigration enforcement operation in Biddeford. According to ICE, the vehicle “attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon”. The agency added “the driver of the vehicle was struck”. ICE has not provided further details explaining why the officer believed the situation posed a threat to public safety. The shooting comes just a week after federal agents used deadly force against another migrant during a traffic stop in Texas.
