Just days after the killing of a Mexican immigrant in Texas, immigration agents fatally shot another immigrant, also driving to work, this time in a small town in southern Maine. Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero, originally from Colombia, was 25 years old and the father of a 3-year-old daughter. He was reportedly authorized to work in the United States, had been issued a Social Security number and was not the target of any warrant. The Department of Homeland Security has defended the shooting, saying that ICE fired on Duran Guerrero in his car out of fear for public safety." Witnesses say they say they saw agents dragging Duran Guerrero from the car after the shooting as he told them that he had been trying to stop." For more, we speak to Biddeford, Maine, resident Eisha Khan, the wife of the town's mayor, Liam LaFountain, about the community's shell-shocked" response to Guerrero's death.
