I am writing to demand immediate accountability regarding this morning’s fatal shooting of an unidentified individual by ICE agents in Biddeford. The use of lethal force by federal agents on Maine soil is a grave matter that directly impacts the safety and civil liberties of our communities. While state police are on the scene, I urge you to use your office to ensure a completely independent, rigorous investigation. Please demand total transparency from federal authorities. Mainers need to know that our state will protect the rights and safety of all its residents against federal overreach. Thank you for your ongoing leadership, dedication to our state, and your prompt attention to this urgent crisis.
