After the third ICE murder in a week, including at least two victims who were not even intended targets, the Department of Homeland Security continues to lie about what actually occurred.

In Biddeford, Maine, Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, in the U.S. legally, was killed Monday when ICE agents mistook him for someone else. Four bullet holes in his windshield suggest that trigger-happy agents killed him in cold blood. Video of the aftermath shows his car aimlessly driving in circles, with the driver presumably unconscious or already dead, and an ICE vehicle ramming it to bring the car to a halt, and then dragging out Guerrero’s limp body.

At first, DHS put out a story that the ICE agent opened fire after Guerrero tried to use his car as a weapon. A few hours later, DHS admitted that the officer mistakenly shot Guerrero in a case of mistaken identity while officers were watching the home of someone else whom they planned to arrest. DHS claimed in a post on X that when ICE tried to stop a car driven by someone who came out of the house, the officer fired his weapon, “fearing for public safety.” The usual improvised BS.

By Tuesday, in an effort at damage control, Trump officials told Maine Sen. Angus King that ICE has been ordered to suspend nearly all traffic stops. This follows a too-familiar pattern, where token adjustments are made and nothing really changes.
