AI disclosure
Summary
US ICE agents shot and killed a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine early Monday morning. Department of Homeland Security secretary Markwayne Mullin first said that the man was a target of an ICE investigation and that he had attempted to "weaponise" his vehicle. Later the story changed – it was confirmed that the man was not the target of the investigation, and DHS described his car as "attempting to flee the scene". Simon Moritz sheds light on the situation that has sparked anti-ICE demonstrations in the area.
