Just days after the killing of a Mexican immigrant in Texas, immigration agents fatally shot another immigrant, also driving to work, this time in a small town in southern Maine. Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, originally from Colombia, was 26 years old and the father of a 3-year-old daughter. He was reportedly authorized to work in the United States, had been issued a Social Security number and was not the target of any warrant.

The Department of Homeland Security has defended the shooting, saying that ICE fired on Durán Guerrero in his car out of fear for "public safety." Witnesses say they saw agents dragging Durán Guerrero from the car after the shooting as he told them that he had been trying to "stop."
