Information published by the Washington Post indicated that the man shot and killed by ICE Monday morning in Biddeford, Maine, was a Colombian citizen.
Breitbart News reported the fatal shooting, noting that witnesses said they heard loud bangs Monday morning and looked out their windows to see law enforcement vehicles swarming the area.
The Portland Press Herald pointed out the incident occurred “at the corner of Pool and Hill streets.” They noted that Biddeford Police Department acknowledged that ICE agents were involved but made clear the department would not be providing any information beyond that.
On Wednesday, the NYT noted that ICE agents were monitoring a residence in Biddeford Monday morning when a vehicle departed and they tried to stop it.
DHS said, “The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.” The time was approximately 7:15 a.m.
The driver of the vehicle was killed in the incident and was identified as Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a Colombian citizen in his 20s.
The Washington Post pointed out that Guerrero “entered the United States via the southern border in September 2023, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said in a statement, and received work authorization in May 2025.”
