ICE Officer Kills Man During Biddeford Removal Operation

Maine's attorney general is investigating after the unnamed officer said the man drove his vehicle toward him while fleeing.

  • The July 13 shooting occurred during an Enforcement and Removal Operations action under a removal order.
  • The officer was placed on administrative leave, standard practice after any use of deadly force.
  • Biddeford police, Saco police, and Maine State Police are assisting the attorney general's investigation.

Why it matters: The attorney general's office investigates what the federal government will not investigate on its own.
