ICE kills 26-year-old in Maine: What happened, and who else has ICE killed? The fatal shooting of a 26-year-old Colombian man by a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Maine has become the latest flashpoint in President Donald Trump’s aggressive crackdown on foreign nationals. The shooting comes amid a sharp increase in immigration arrests, renewed protests and mounting concern over the growing number of people killed during ICE raids and other enforcement operations. The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees ICE, said agents were conducting surveillance at an address linked to someone who had received a final order of removal from the country. Earlier, Maine Senator Angus King said Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin had told him the officer fired after the driver allegedly attempted to use the vehicle as a weapon against ICE agents. ICE, the largest federal law enforcement agency within DHS, has long been responsible for enforcing immigration laws and carrying out deportations.
