Four people have been shot to death by federal immigration officers so far in 2026. Joan Sebastian Guerrero died July 13 in Maine, and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo died July 7 in Houston, both in targeted traffic stops in which they were reportedly misidentified. Alex Pretti and Renee Good died on January 24 and January 7 during clashes with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis.
After ICE’s invasion of Minneapolis in January that purported to “crackdown” on undocumented immigrants and the March departure of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, her successor Markwayne Mullin promised to take, as POLITICO reported, “a lower-profile approach to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, mothballing the flashy and aggressive tactics employed by his predecessor.”
