A person was killed Monday in a shooting involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in the northern US state of Maine, an official said.
“This morning a shooting occurred in Biddeford. A person was killed. ICE was involved,” Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau wrote on Facebook, adding that state police and the FBI would investigate.
The incident comes after an ICE agent last week shot dead a Mexican man during an operation in Houston, Texas, sparking outrage against the agency chiefly responsible for President Donald Trump’s immigrant crackdown.
The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, did not immediately comment on the Maine shooting.
Maine Governor Janet Mills put out a brief statement saying she had been briefed “on the fatal shooting in Biddeford this morning involving Federal law enforcement.”
