Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a 26-year-old Colombian national, was shot and killed by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Biddeford, Maine, on Monday.
Authorities reported that Guerrero was behind the wheel of his car when he was mistakenly identified as the intended target of the operation.
The incident marks the second fatal shooting by ICE personnel in less than a week, following the death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was also reportedly mistaken for another target during a separate enforcement action.
The rapid succession of errors has sparked outrage in Maine and renewed questions about the operational protocols governing federal immigration raids.
The deaths highlight the risks associated with high-stakes enforcement operations where misidentification can lead to lethal outcomes.
This development occurs against a backdrop of rising concerns regarding safety within the federal immigration system.
