Seems like ICE always claims that the person wasn’t who they meant to shoot and that they posed a threat, even if it always turns out to be lies.
Why do ICE losers have guns in the first place?
Americans: please take your country back from these Confederate scumbags. Finish the Civil War the way you should have when it “ended”. These fuckers won’t stop until they’re physically stopped and your friends, family, and neighbours will keep living in fear and suffering until you all sack up.
Christ. Not nearly enough of you are ashamed of what’s happening to your country at home, let alone on the world stage.
The baddies have then guns the laws the infrastructure the money the organization and the itch to kill everyone and isolate them. America is huge. They’ve captured all our institutions. And if you think the middle class here is going to do anything other than shit their pants and march on the weekends then I have a bridge to sell you.
I’ve been watching from the outside for years. Fewer have lower expectations for the American people than I do.
Well as someone from the inside I’m right there with you.
The victim’s name was Joan Sebastian Guerrero. The article hides it halfway down underneath some ads, presumably because corporate media doesn’t want him to become a martyr like Pretti and Goode.
What are they going to do NOT Vote for Me?
-Susan Collins, who voted to FUND ICE with BILLIONS of Taxpayer Dollars, who is PROBABLY Right!
Regardless… why the fuck did they shoot anyone in the first place.?
This is, to put it mildly, really bad. They’re admitting that the ICE traitor wasn’t in any danger. But thought letting people with darker skin than his go free was so terrible he had to shoot.
Also, not that it would make it any better if it was true, but the “illegal alien” part of their statement seems to be a straight up lie
A 26-year-old Colombian man who was authorized to work in the United States and had been issued a Social Security number was killed in the morning shooting, according to two organizations, Presente! and the Maine Immigrant Rights Coalition.
If ICE thought they had something to sell here they’d be out behind podiums and calling into Fox News and bragging about how they just “protected the country from violent criminal, and the libs are so mad about it, and” blah blah, but instead we’re getting this performance
Authorities have not publicly identified the man. The Colombian Embassy in Washington said it is working to help identify the victim and confirm nationality.
King, I-Maine, said earlier that Mullin told him ICE targeted the man because he had a final deportation order.
Mullin told King that “the victim of today’s federal law enforcement shooting was not the target of the warrant,” King’s spokesperson, Matthew Felling, said in a statement. “Sen. King continues to emphasize the need for a full and transparent investigation.”
A spokesperson for ICE said in a statement that the driver of a vehicle was killed after an attempted traffic stop. The statement came about 12 hours after the shooting, to the point Maine elected officials had relayed to the public what DHS had shared with them.

Every murder they’ve gotten away with has emboldened them.
Not sure why ICE can’t stop killing civilians. Just a bunch of moronic knuckle-dragging jackasses who never had any friends in high school. Now they’re irresponsibly put in a position of power with weapons. Who knew such fuckups could happen?
and they used the same excuse “he was using his vehicle as a weapon!” so…how many times is that now?
man the US is a shithole country.
ICE isn’t even saying that now. Just that he was driving away so it was necessary to shoot for public safety.
Concentrations camps or death. Welcome to dictatorial fascism
So then that’s murder.
It would be murder otherwise, but it’s arguably not under the umbrella of qualified immunity in this context. I hope the fucker gets life. Or, well, even prosecuted at all, because the bar is very fucking low at this point.
Nah, even if they weren’t the target, it happened in the “line of duty”. Same shit as when a SWAT team accidentally kills a kid through a wall after raiding a house, or when a cop runs a driver off the road while chasing down another vehicle.
When civilians do it, it’s a gang shooting of an innocent bystander. When ICE does it, it’s a bureaucratic whoopsy.
as if that somehow makes it better?
They actually intended to shoot someone else and that dude was simply brown in the wrong part of town.
“We shot the right man, but the wrong man exploded”
They’re in the White House, you idiots
