CBS News general

Key Points:

  • Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a 25-year-old Colombian national, was fatally shot by an ICE officer in Biddeford, Maine, after being approached while in a white sedan; surveillance footage captured the shooting and the subsequent arrest.
  • Witnesses reported hearing Guerrero say "I tried to stop" and described the ICE officers' demeanor as shocked; Guerrero, a married father and delivery driver, died at the scene despite first responders' efforts.
  • DHS stated ICE agents were conducting targeted surveillance on a different individual with a final removal order, and Guerrero was not the intended target; reports suggest ICE may have mistakenly shot the wrong person.
  • Following this and a similar incident in Texas involving another non-targeted individual, federal officials are suspending most vehicle stops during immigration enforcement operations nationwide, though this pause is described as temporary and not a policy change.
  • Maine Senator Susan Collins and others are calling for clarity and caution pending investigation results, emphasizing the need to understand the facts before proceeding with enforcement actions.
