3 Massachusetts Municipalities Urge Charges Against ICE Agents as Family Seeks Prosecution in Maine Shooting

Summary
Three Central Massachusetts municipalities — Amherst, Northampton and Easthampton — passed resolutions urging state and local officials to investigate and charge ICE agents who violate state law.
The push follows the fatal shooting of 26-year-old Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine, where his family is pressing Maine authorities to bring criminal charges against the agent involved.
The latest appeals argue that state and local prosecutors have both the power and duty to pursue killings and alleged abductions by ICE agents, even when the agents are federal officers.
The resolutions and family demands broaden pressure over ICE conduct from one Maine case into a wider regional call for state-level accountability.
