Biddeford Shooting Drives ICE Senate Fight

The fatal shooting of a Colombian man during an ICE operation in Biddeford has become a major point of conflict in Maine’s 2026 Senate race.

Democratic candidates and protesters are calling for ICE to be abolished, while Sen. Susan Collins is pressing for an impartial investigation and a halt to non-urgent vehicle stops while defending the need for agency improvements. The incident is also drawing scrutiny from state and federal officials, with the investigation still underway.
