An eleventh person was just killed by immigration agents in our streets under the second Trump administration. This is a developing situation.

At 8 a.m. this morning ICE shot and killed someone in their car in Biddeford, Maine. The victim has been identified as a 26-year-old man from Colombia who, according to the Maine Immigrant Rights Coalition, was authorized to work in the United States. This is the latest senseless killing by Trump's immigration enforcement, following killings in Houston, Minneapolis, and elsewhere.

The White House and Republican majority in congress have injected an unprecedented amount of tax dollars into ICE. With their bloated budget, Stephen Miller and Trump have pivoted ICE and DHS away from the border and into city streets – breaking into homes, smashing car windows, and illegally murdering working people on American soil.
