Democrats Hold ‘Shadow’ Hearing in Maine over ICE Shooting Death
Lawmakers and witnesses will examine the investigation and ICE’s vetting after the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero.
- On Monday, House minority members convened a "shadow" hearing in Biddeford, Maine, examining the July 13 fatal shooting of 25-year-old Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.
- Representative Chellie Pingree revealed the operation's intended target—Guerrero's roommate—lacked a final removal order, contradicting Department of Homeland Security claims of executing a warrant against an illegal alien.
- Addressing the crowd of roughly 200, victim's father Durán Plata pleaded for justice, describing his son as a devoted family man who supported his mother despite physical distance.
- House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark condemned the shooting as "cold-blooded murder at the hands of a dangerous, out-of-control ICE agent," while Maine Governor Janet Mills criticized "roaming federal agents."
- Attorney Ben Gideon stated a civil lawsuit against the government is likely, noting federal agencies have provided minimal information to the family regarding the investigation's status.
