“The people of Maine are not going to buy an investigation that’s strictly run by the F.B.I. or D.H.S.,” Senator Angus King, an independent, reported The New York Time. “I’m sorry. They just don’t have the credibility.”
Senator King was referring a killing in Maine by ICE of a man legally in the U.S. ICE has said victims in Maine and other states were brandishing a gun, “weaponizing” a
car or attacking with a shovel. But these explanations, which federal
immigration officials gave for shooting people, were swiftly undercut
or contradicted by video evidence.
Now, local officials and some members of the public
are meeting the Department of Homeland Security’s accounts of the fatal
shootings this month in Houston and Biddeford, Maine, with intense skepticism.
In Maine on Monday, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer killed Joan
Sebastian Guerrero, a Colombian living in Biddeford. The department said little
more than that he had tried to flee a traffic stop and that an officer,
“fearing for public safety,” had fired at him.
Videos that capture the shooting have
not surfaced. Maine officials have called for state law enforcement
officials to help determine what occurred.
