The family of Johan Guerrero held a press conference on July 16 to address his fatal shooting by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Guerrero was shot during an encounter with federal agents in Biddeford, Maine.
Benjamin Gideon, an attorney representing the family, stated that Guerrero was an innocent person and characterized his death as a result of federal policies and culture. During the remarks, Gideon referenced a similar recent incident in Houston, Texas, to argue that such shootings are becoming a recurring issue across the country.
The press conference served as a platform for the family to provide their account of the events and call for accountability. ICE has not yet released a detailed public statement regarding the specific circumstances leading to the discharge of weapons during the incident in Maine.
