Summary

  • Enrique Sanchez, a Rhode Island state representative, posted that ICE’s “day of reckoning will come” after agents fatally shot 26-year-old Colombian national Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine.
  • July 13’s shooting happened during an attempted traffic stop after Guerrero allegedly tried to flee; an eyewitness told the Portland Press Herald he appeared to drive toward federal agents before shots were fired.
  • Sanchez tied the post to his work defending immigrants in Rhode Island and said confrontations with ICE since last year had “f----- me up in the head.”
  • The Democrat, elected in 2022, had already called ICE officers “Nazi Gestapo thugs” in August 2025 and later accused the agency of “terrorizing” communities while demanding a “day of reckoning.”
  • The Maine killing also drew street protests, with demonstrators entering Senator Susan Collins’ office and chanting “vote her out” as anger over Trump-era immigration enforcement widened.
