A fatal ICE-involved shooting in Biddeford has brought immigration enforcement directly into Susan Collins’s 2026 Senate reelection campaign.
Democratic challengers are tying Collins’s support for roughly $70 billion in federal immigration-enforcement funding to demands for ICE abolition or stricter accountability, while Collins is calling for an investigation, defending the agency’s functions, and highlighting measures such as body cameras and de-escalation training. The issue is unfolding alongside a Democratic nomination reset after Graham Platner’s withdrawal and a scheduled July 25 convention to select a replacement nominee.
