ICE agent fatally shoots Columbian man in Maine

A US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and

killed a 26-year-old man from Columbia in Biddleford, Maine, on Monday.

It marked the second deadly ICE shooting in a week, and at least the ninth

death since President Trump began his immigration crackdown.

Federal officials say agents were watching a house tied to someone with

a deportation order, but Senator Angus King say the victim wasn't the

target.

The agent claims the driver tried to use his car as a weapon.

Witnesses heard the man say, "I tried to stop" before he died. Neighbours

say he lived nearby with his wife and young daughter and was allowed to

work in the US.

The agent is on leave while the FBI investigates the case. Hundreds came

out in protest Monday night.

The shooting comes after ICE agents arrested

more than 10,000 people over five days in late June.

In Maine, 546 people have been arrested since January,

of whom 45% having criminal records.
