Susan Collins is claiming credit for a major ICE reform after a federal agent killed one of her constituents. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3497\">Trump Plot to Keep Shock Troops on Streets for Years Is Revealed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a Colombian-born father, was killed by an ICE agent in Biddeford, Maine, on Monday. Guerrero, 26, was living in the U.S. legally and was not the target of the immigration operation, but was still shot dead through his windshield.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Collins, who is viewed as vulnerable in the upcoming midterm elections, now claims that she spoke with Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and asked him to halt ICE-initiated traffic stops\u2014a policy that the agency has since enacted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWhile the investigation of the Biddeford shooting is not yet complete, it raises sufficient critical questions that I spoke with DHS Secretary Mullin last night and urged him to cease all non-urgent vehicle stops,\u201d she wrote on X.<\/p>\n<p>The reversal in tactics will affect agents in Enforcement and Removal Operations, the branch within the agency responsible for arrests and deportations, CNN reported. The new guidance will pause agents from initiating traffic stops. <\/p>\n<p>Guerrero\u2019s killing comes less than one week after a federal agent shot and killed a man through his car\u2019s window in Texas. Like Guerrero, he was not the target of a deportation operation.<\/p>\n<p>Agents were not wearing body cameras in either fatal shooting.<\/p>\n<p>The sudden uptick in ICE shootings has renewed calls for reform and accountability at the agency, renewing pressure that emerged in January after the back-to-back fatal shootings of Minnesota residents Alex Pretti and Renee Good, who was also killed by a federal agent firing into her vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Collins has also called for a \u201cfull and impartial investigation\u201d into the latest ICE shooting. The Maine Attorney General\u2019s office has said it is investigating the incident along with local and federal authorities.<\/p>\n<p>While Collins claims she is holding ICE\u2019s feet to the fire now, she also just voted to fund the agency through 2029, for the remainder of Trump\u2019s term. <\/p>\n<p>Of the roughly $70 billion she approved for DHS, $38 billion is specifically for ICE to hire, pay, train, and equip its agents and officers over the next two and a half years. The funds have few stipulations on how they should actually be spent.<\/p>\n<p>Collins\u2019 office in Biddeford was swarmed with protestors in the hours after the shooting. Protesters carried signs reading \u201cICE Out Now\u201d and \u201cI Stand With Immigrants.\u201d Some chanted, \u201cVote her out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3496\">JD Vance Blows Off House GOP to Go on MAGA Podcast<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Collins has rejected protestors\u2019 demands, telling Fox News after the fatal shooting that \u201cthere\u2019s no doubt that ICE needs to improve its performance,\u201d but that \u201cthose who are calling for ICE to be abolished are ignoring absolutely vital safety work that ICE does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One witness of the fatal shooting, Cecelia Humiston, 22, told the Portland Press Herald that Guerrero was killed in the presence of his young daughter. <\/p>\n<p>Humiston said she was asleep when she heard a commotion nearby, and she went to check it out. She said she saw a person lying on the ground\u2014then heard another woman yelling, \u201cYou took her dad, you took her dad!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were with a little girl, she couldn\u2019t have been older than three,\u201d Humiston told the outlet. \u201cShe was still in her Bluey pajamas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of his killing, neighbors have described Guerrero as a \u201cgood person\u201d and as \u201cquiet and reserved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe worked hard to provide for his wife and a 3-year-old daughter,\u201d a neighbor told CNN. \u201cWe just ask for justice for his family. It was hard to see his wife sitting there just crying and screaming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a statement made several hours after the shooting, DHS asserted the \u201cvehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon,\u201d adding that \u201cthe driver of the vehicle was struck.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The agency has not explained how the officer feared for their safety.<\/p>\n<p>An impromptu tribute popped up at the site where Guerrero was killed, where people left flowers and candles. <\/p>\n<p>One sign read: \u201cImmigrants make Biddeford great. Another said, \u201cHis name was Sebastian.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Federal agents have killed at least 11 people in the U.S. since Trump took office last year. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3494\">Trump\u2019s Drained Pool Abomination Exposed in Jaw-Dropping Video<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican Sen.
