Biddeford Protests Continue a Month After Deadly ICE Shooting
About 100 protesters urged accountability for the fatal ICE shooting and criticized Susan Collins’ support for $70 billion in immigration enforcement funding.
- On Tuesday, about 100 protesters rallied outside Senator Susan Collins' Biddeford office, demanding accountability for her support of ICE following the fatal shooting of Johan Sebastian Guerrero.
- The demonstration occurred one month after an ICE agent fatally shot Guerrero in Biddeford, sparking outrage over Collins' vote this spring to approve a $70 billion funding package for the agency.
- State Senator Henry Ingwerson criticized the funding bill, noting it lacked "guardrails" Democrats requested, including mandatory body cameras and clear use-of-force guidelines for ICE agents.
- While Collins' campaign stated she supports a thorough, independent investigation into the shooting, protesters urged residents to vote the senator out during the November election.
- A hearing on the use of force in Guerrero's death is scheduled for next Monday in Biddeford with Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, where family representatives and local officials will address the investigation.
