On July 13, 2026, a 25-year-old Colombian father named Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero was shot and killed by an ICE agent as he left his home in Biddeford. Federal officials have admitted he was not even the person they were looking for. No charges had ever been filed against him. He was simply in the wrong place when a federal operation went terribly wrong — and now he's gone, and his family is left with nothing but unanswered questions.
This is happening in Maine. In our communities. And Mainers deserve to know what went wrong, who is responsible, and what the state is doing to make sure it never happens again. Eighty of your colleagues already sent a letter to DHS demanding full cooperation with the state investigation. That shows there is real political will here. But constituents like me need to know that our own representatives are standing behind that investigation — loudly and on the record — and pushing to give state investigators every tool and every piece of information they need to get to the truth.
I'm asking you to publicly support the state investigation into Johan Durán's death and call on state agencies to use every available authority to compel federal cooperation and transparency. His family, this community, and every Maine resident who now feels less safe in their own driveway deserve a full accounting. Make sure Maine's investigation has your full backing.
