Also, not that it would make it any better if it was true, but the “illegal alien” part of their statement seems to be a straight up lie

A 26-year-old Colombian man who was authorized to work in the United States and had been issued a Social Security number was killed in the morning shooting, according to two organizations, Presente! and the Maine Immigrant Rights Coalition.

If ICE thought they had something to sell here they’d be out behind podiums and calling into Fox News and bragging about how they just “protected the country from violent criminal, and the libs are so mad about it, and” blah blah, but instead we’re getting this performance

Authorities have not publicly identified the man. The Colombian Embassy in Washington said it is working to help identify the victim and confirm nationality.

King, I-Maine, said earlier that Mullin told him ICE targeted the man because he had a final deportation order.

Mullin told King that “the victim of today’s federal law enforcement shooting was not the target of the warrant,” King’s spokesperson, Matthew Felling, said in a statement. “Sen. King continues to emphasize the need for a full and transparent investigation.”

A spokesperson for ICE said in a statement that the driver of a vehicle was killed after an attempted traffic stop. The statement came about 12 hours after the shooting, to the point Maine elected officials had relayed to the public what DHS had shared with them.
