A federal immigration officer has fatally shot a motorist in Maine, the second time in a week that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have used deadly force.

The agent shot Joan Sebastian Guerrero dead during a vehicle stop.

The agency’s second killing in as many weeks prompted an abrupt policy change on vehicle stops.
