Summary
Karolina Rojas Alvarez was set to speak Thursday in Biddeford about the death of her husband, Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent on Monday.
The 25-year-old Colombian was heading to work when he was shot, according to the Maine Immigrant Rights Coalition, which said he was authorized to work in the United States and had a Social Security number.
Homeland Security said Guerrero entered the U.S. illegally in September 2023 and received a work permit in May 2025, adding that any pending asylum case would not have changed his immigration status.
Guerrero is survived by his wife, a 3-year-old child and his sister, who said from Colombia that the family wants the shooting clarified and justice pursued.
