ICE Killings Fuel Nationwide Protests
Less than one week after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot and killed Houston father and construction worker Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, ICE agents fatally shot Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine, on Monday, July 12.
According to witness accounts and video footage, ICE agents rammed their vehicle into the 26-year-old Colombian’s car and approached the driver-side door. Moments later, they shot him and proceeded to drag his limp body out of the vehicle, handcuffing him on the pavement, where his body was left for five hours. Guerrero’s three-year-old daughter and partner were in the car and witnessed the killing.
