FBI not conducting civil rights probe into ICE shooting in Maine, sources say
The deadly encounter between an ICE officer and Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero on July 13 in Biddeford, Maine, is the latest in a growing string of clashes between civilians and ICE agents.
The FBI is not currently conducting a civil rights investigation into the July shooting death of Colombian man Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine, according to sources cited by CBS News. Despite questions surrounding the use of force in the incident, the Boston field office of the FBI has stated it is not leading the probe.
Instead, the Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Inspector General and the Maine Attorney General's office are currently handling the investigation. Civil rights legal experts have expressed surprise at the FBI's lack of involvement, given its usual role in such cases.
