Immigrant rights groups identified the man who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Biddeford, Maine, on Monday as 26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a Colombian native who groups said had authorization to work in the United States.
This is the second time an ICE agent has killed someone in a week. On July 7, an officer shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican immigrant who was driving a work crew to a construction site in Houston, Texas.
The shootings prompted the Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday to temporarily pause many traffic stops, according to Maine Sen. Angus King’s office.
