Harris Demands ICE Probe in 26-Year-Old's Maine Shooting as Critics Cite Border Record

Summary
Kamala Harris called for an immediate independent investigation after ICE agents fatally shot 26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero during a Monday operation in Biddeford, Maine.
DHS said Guerrero was not the target of the operation and was shot after he tried to flee in a vehicle, with an officer firing because he feared for public safety; a witness said the car appeared to move toward agents.
Guerrero, a Colombian national, crossed the border illegally in September 2023, according to DHS, and later received a work permit in May 2025, which the agency said did not grant legal status.
Harris said this was the second time in a week ICE had killed someone who was not the subject of an operation, following her earlier call for a probe into a separate Houston shooting.
Republican critics and social media users contrasted Harris' response with her limited public comments on killings of Americans such as Laken Riley and Rachel Morin, reviving scrutiny of her Biden-era migration role.
