Event Overview
ICE officers were involved in fatal shootings in Houston, Texas, and Biddeford, Maine, as well as three January shootings in Minnesota.

In Maine, a 26-year-old Colombian man was killed, with DHS claiming he weaponized his vehicle while witnesses provided conflicting accounts. In Minnesota, the federal government entered an evidence-sharing agreement with state officials following accusations of obstruction regarding the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good and the wounding of Julio Sosa-Celis.
