Witnesses reported seeing an agent fire shots after Guerrero's vehicle allegedly tried to hit the officer, while others described an unmarked SUV ramming Guerrero's car. Advocacy groups stated Guerrero was authorized to work in the U.S., and Senator Angus King confirmed he was not the target of an arrest warrant, contrary to initial claims. Homeland Security stated an ICE officer discharged their weapon after Guerrero's vehicle attempted to flee, resulting in his death, and the officer has been placed on leave. This incident marks at least the 11th fatal shooting involving federal immigration agents under the current administration and has sparked outrage and calls for accountability from community leaders and politicians.
