An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fatally shot a motorist on Monday in Biddeford, a coastal town in Maine about 24 kilometres from Portland. It is the second time in a week that ICE has resorted to lethal force, and the ninth death recorded since President Donald Trump launched his crackdown on irregular immigration.
Migrant rights groups identified the dead man as a 26-year-old Colombian; the Colombian embassy confirmed it is in contact with the US authorities and is providing consular support to the family.
