A shooting involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents occurred in Biddeford on Monday morning.

Early reporting from the scene confirmed that shots were fired during the incident. Law enforcement established a perimeter with yellow police tape, which appeared oriented primarily toward traffic control in the area. The location of the events was identified in the vicinity of the intersection of Hill Street and Pool Street.

According to available information, a driver attempted to run over ICE agents with a vehicle. The agents fired shots in response, resulting in the driver’s death. Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau confirmed the incident.

The Maine State Police and Department of Public Safety are investigating the matter, with the FBI expected to take the lead. Videos from the scene show bullet holes in the vehicle’s windshield and agents on site.

At this early stage, officials have released limited details. Reporting emphasized the importance of relying on verified facts and avoiding unconfirmed speculation as the situation develops. No additional information regarding the driver’s identity or the full circumstances has been made public.

The investigation is ongoing. The Maine Wire will update as information becomes available.

If the driver actually did try to run over an ICE agent, then I’m glad they shot him and he’s dead. Those kind of people don’t belong in America

Woman at that protest earlier say “stop killing our citizens”! Excuse me? When an ILLEGAL who is NOT a US CITIZEN attempts to run down ANY LEO, INCLUDING AN ICE AGENT driving a car, deserves whatever he or she gets. Im GLAD ICE is here, Biddeford like Portland and Bangor has a LOT of illegals who if they was smart they would leave. NOW.

Just heard on Fox News @ 3:00pm Agnus King said he contacted ice personally and they told him the person they were after had court orders to leave then attempted to run over ice offers.
We know what happened from there bang, bang 2 the head.

A word to wise all illegals should leave now voluntary & peacefully.

A couple of comments early on:

(1) I will be relying on The Maine Wire for the most detailed, true coverage of this incident. I cannot rely on the so-called Maine news industry.
(2) Early reports indicate that the decedent was “told by ICE to leave.” Why wasn’t he picked up, incarcerated and deported? These illegals clearly do not listen.

If we were to head down to South America or any other foreign country and not a citizen of that country would they let us vote in there elections?
Would they roll out the red carpet and pay us to live there, give us 3 squares a day, a roof over our heads.
If we disagreed with their religion and their way of life would they listen to our complaints and change to what we say is right?

Then why are we putting up with this ridiculous thought that they are our citizens?

Before I protest anything or anyone, I’d kinda like to know what the hell happened. Hopefully they have cop cam footage to show us what happened.

The Democratic leadership did nothing to oppose Bidden ‘open borders policies and as a result must bear the burden of these
killings!!!
Pingree. King, Governor Janet, Speaker of the House Fecteau never told their Democratic leader Joe Biden that is was wrong to let all these folks in our country and permitting some to seal through Froude our tax money. Every Democratic in a leadership role who did not speak against Biden bears the blood of this young man on their soles today!

@Wayne, they are against it because of the money, money for illegal housing, healthcare, SNAP, etc. The NGO’s make a boatload off these “immigrant” programs. And lets not forget the fraud…

Yes Gov. Mills it has to stop. Why didn’t you and other Democrat’s speak up to Joe Biden against his open boarders polices?
You kept your voice down to get votes.

What did the driver think would happen AFTER/IF she or he successfully ran over and then killed an ICE agent? Do they think the illegal would have run away??? These are the Platner and Pingree voters.

Public service announcement. So just to be clear since inconvenient facts have no place here the 26 year old father (whose 3 year old daughter may have seen him shot) has a social security number and was on his way to work. Ok, now you can go back to ignorant ranting.

@Reason, an eye witness said the guy used his car as a weapon. Now you can go back to your ignorant rant. All the guy had to do was stop and the tragedy could have been avoided.

@Reason I would like to know how he got a social security number if he was not a US Citizen? I thought they only were able to get authorization numbers like a FID number. So you know that’s a Federal Identification Number
Was his SSI number fake or stolen? Just asking!
Reason Now you can go back to spewing BS

@DRM and Cap’t Dick et al first off there is no indication that this person was here illegally. Yes he was from Columbia but authorized to work here. Second there is NO evidence he tried to ram anyone and the official narrative has already changed from “weaponized vehicle” to “fleeing” and an eye witness hearing the victim saying “I tried to stop “. The truth is very few people actually know what happened but for the second time in a week masked ice agents without body cameras have executed someone in the streets who was not the “target”. This may not concern you, but it concerns me.

Ok let’s see if we can put some teeth into some facts here.

Well if he was here legally and following the law when federal or state officers for that matter attempted to stop him why did he try to run.
Makes me think there is something fishy about him trying to run. He probably knew he was going to be deported if caught.

From Columbia but authorized to work (that tells me his work authorization may have been expired) and he knew it and tried to run.

Well the video I have watched of an eyewitness said he saw the guy aim his vehicle at the officers as he tried to flee. Stop watching ms now or cnn.

If the democrats hadn’t made such a pissing contest out of funding DHS for how many months before the funding bill was passed and available for body cameras. The cameras would have been provided for most or all ice officers by now. But no democrats had to piss and moan because they don’t want accountability.

The face masks are to protect there identity from weirdos trying to follow them around and protecting there identity to keep there family’s safe to from the death threats they are receiving.

It concerns me that they think they can just break into anyone’s house and become a squatter and when asked to leave want to put up a fight and gets hurt and I am supposed to feel sorry for them. Hell No I don’t.

Run from the law and want to play stupid games win stupid prizes.

@ Reason, If this was unjustified then I am with you, but I will wait until all the facts are in. As for the cameras, maybe the democrats should not have shut things down. I want all illegals gone, period.

Oh Captain my Captain you just keep digging this hole deeper. This is why we can’t have adult conversations anymore. Tried to run? According to who, work authorization must be expired and knew he was going to be deported? DHS officers not wearing cameras because of funding? It concerns you that “they” break into houses and become squatters? You have no f in idea who this person was, or what the circumstances were but you clearly have made up your mind on all the above. All I know so far is that a 26 year old father on his way to work was shot. Might there be more? I’m sure there will be. As for Ice not affording cameras you cannot be that gullible, and doxxing?? Maine Wire doxxes every single day prominently placing their enemies on the block. The things you are afraid of are happening and laws need to be upheld. I have no interest in people being here illegally but assuming all of these things because he is from
Colombia is just straight up racism.

Maybe the feds should be running dead people’s ssn to find these people who are using there ssn.
