Susan Collins

Following the shooting, Collins called for a “full and impartial investigation” into the shooting, adding confirmation that the FBI was investigating. Collins had previously voted to support $70 billion in funding for ICE without reforms to training and operational practices, which was targeted in protesters’ slogans when they entered her office.

Democrat Troy Jackson, who is vying to be former Senate candidate Graham Platner’s replacement in the general election, was in attendance at the protests. The Senate hopeful released a video telling people to gather in Mechanics Park in Biddeford to protest ICE.

The identity of the man shot has not been revealed, though the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition said he was a 26-year-old man who “came to Maine to live and work.”

King held a press conference following the shooting, where he recounted his conversation with Mullin and said ICE targeted the man because he had a final deportation order. King also said Mullin told him body cameras for ICE officers had been widely distributed, but had not yet reached Biddeford.

The incident follows an officer-involved shooting in Houston that killed Salgado Araujo, a native of Mexico who lived in the United States for over 35 years and was not the intended target.
