Yesterday, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in the town of
Biddeford, Maine, shot into a car and killed the driver, a man named Joan
Sebastian Guerrero.

This happened just six days after ICE killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston,
Texas.

Here’s some of what has been reported so far about the killing of Mr. Guerrero
(with details still emerging):

* Mr. Guerrero was 26 years old. He was from Colombia. He had a wife and a
young daughter, both of whom may have been present as he died on the street
before their eyes.

* He had a Social Security Number and he was authorized to work in the United States .

* He was shot behind the wheel of a car. News photos show what appear to be at
least five bullet holes through the windshield, on the driver’s side.

* One witness said he saw agents drag Mr. Guerrero out of the car. The victim
was “bleeding profusely from the head” and saying he “tried to stop.”

* Another witness said none of the agents tried to help Mr. Guerrero after they
pulled him from the car, adding that “he didn’t deserve to be executed in the
street.”

* Mr. Guerrero’s body was left on the ground — uncovered, with his blood
draining into the gutter — for hours.

As with the shooting in Texas, Mr. Guerrero was not the person ICE was actually
looking for. (Which is not to say that shooting him would have been OK if he had
been who they were looking for.)

As with the shooting in Texas, federal officials are saying that Mr. Guerrero
“weaponized his vehicle.” Of course, it remains to be seen if that is even
remotely true or if it is a lie (as it was in the case of the killing of Renee
Good earlier this year in Minneapolis).

As with the shooting in Texas, the ICE agents in Maine were not wearing body
cameras, and federal authorities have released precisely zero video footage
related to the shooting.

Federal agents carrying out the Trump regime’s campaign of terror against
immigrants have shot at least 22 people (that we know of) since Trump returned
to power.

This is barbaric. It is evil. And it has to stop.
