ICE Agents' Shooting in Maine Revealed by Surveillance Footage

A video released by journalist Sam Stein shows U.S.Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents involved in a fatal shooting of a 26-year-old Colombian man authorized to work in the U.S.

The footage, captured in Biddeford, Maine, on July 13, 2026, depicts agents walking alongside a slow-moving car, contradicting official claims that the driver attempted to use it as a weapon.The victim, identified by the Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition, was shot dead during the incident.A second video shows agents removing the man's body from the car and dropping it headfirst on the ground while he was handcuffed.The agents involved did not wear body cameras, raising concerns about transparency and accountability.Witnesses reported seeing the man bleed profusely from his head and utter the phrase 'I tried to stop' before dying.

The lack of body cameras has been highlighted as part of a broader pattern, with similar incidents in Minneapolis and Houston also involving agents without cameras.

Congress had allocated $20 million for body cameras after previous ICE shootings, but the Biddeford case underscores ongoing issues with oversight and documentation in immigration enforcement.
