1 person killed in Maine shooting involving ICE, state House speaker says
State police are investigating the shooting, and the FBI is expected to take over as officials say one person was killed.
- On Monday, July 13, 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents fatally shot a person in Biddeford, Maine, prompting investigations by state police and the FBI.
- The shooting occurred amid the Trump administration's 'Operation Catch of the Day' enforcement surge in Maine, which detained nearly 200 people but faced scrutiny after only 11 had criminal convictions.
- Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told Senator Angus King the agent fired after the motorist "weaponized" his vehicle, yet witnesses disputed this account and noted agents lacked body cameras.
- Representative Chellie Pingree demanded answers about ICE's presence in Maine, while advocacy groups organized protests and called for accountability following the death of the 26-year-old Colombian man.
- The killing marks at least the 11th fatal shooting involving ICE or Border Patrol agents since President Donald Trump took office, intensifying scrutiny of the administration's mass deportation campaign.
