Colombian Immigrant Killed by ICE in Maine Had Legal Status, Father Says

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/14/us/joan-sebastian-guerrero-maine-ice-shooting.html?

The father of a Colombian immigrant shot and killed by a federal agent in Maine on Monday described him as "a good person raised with strong values," who worked two jobs to support his wife and 3-year-old daughter.

"He had a great vision for getting ahead, so many dreams to fulfill," Omar Duran, the father of Joan Sebastian Guerrero, told Noticias Caracol, a Colombian news outlet, on Tuesday, speaking in Spanish. "My son is a wonderful son — I don't know why they did that to him."

Mr. Guerrero, 25, lived in Biddeford, a small city south of Portland, where he worked as a food delivery driver and a late-night cleaner at a veterinary clinic. Mr. Duran said his son was in the United States legally.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump wants Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to keep pulling over vehicles, signaling his opposition Wednesday to plans announced just a day earlier to suspend most traffic stops following another string of fatal shootings.

[MU82]

From Axios:

A livid President Trump complained to advisers late Tuesday about the Department of Homeland Security's decision to pause vehicle stops by ICE agents, after two fatal shootings of drivers in the past two weeks.

The department's idea seemed to be that agents would get more training. But by yesterday morning, Trump had sent a Truth Social post reversing the pause, leaving DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and border czar Tom Homan to explain.

Training Schmaining! Gotta kill, kill, kill.

The Gestapo was at it again in Vegas ...

https://apnews.com/article/las-vegas-ice-airport-arrest-553273b1f51c5e999396c147de8729fe?

Video footage of two Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents tackling a man at the airport in Las Vegas drew public outrage and criticism from elected officials.

One video posted on social media showed a man yelling and crying on the ground in Terminal 3 at Harry Reid International Airport on Monday when a man and a masked woman, both in plainclothes, tried to control, handcuff and detain him. When the pair realized they were being filmed, they walked away, leaving the man with a handcuff attached to one arm.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police found no outstanding warrants for the man, removed his handcuffs and notified ICE.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, ICE officers on Monday did not proceed with the arrest at the Las Vegas airport of Phu Nguyen, a 57-year-old citizen of Australia who overstayed his visa. ICE arrested him at his flight departing the Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security said.

"ICE is continuing to act with impunity — instilling fear in our communities and scaring tourists, which hurts our tourism economy," Democratic U.S. Senator for Nevada Jacky Rosen said in a statement. "Enough is enough. ICE must follow the same commonsense guardrails as other law enforcement agencies."

Well, at least this Gestapo victim wasn't executed. Progress?

Wow I can't believe the ICE guy had two ex wives now say he was prone to abuse and violence and their concerns went unheeded. That's not this nation's law enforcement diligence I know and respect

From this morning's NYT e-newsletter:

Federal prosecutors seldom lose cases. More than 90 percent of criminal defendants plead guilty or are convicted at trial.

But over the past year, those prosecutors have lost about half their cases against people charged with assaulting immigration officers. A Times investigation has found that is at least partly because Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have engaged in misconduct as they try to meet President Trump's aggressive deportation goals. Here's some of what our reporters uncovered:

The Trump administration has charged more than 550 people with assaulting federal officers — far more than previously known. About 400 cases have been resolved so far. In 214, the defendants were acquitted or the charges were dropped.

In dozens of the cases, videos and court records show that federal agents were the first to get physical — shoving, tackling or pepper-spraying defendants. In at least seven, officers' own conduct caused their injuries. Two judges found that agents intentionally destroyed evidence.

Der Fuhrer has absolutely no interest in knowing about his Gestapo's executions.

Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the F.B.I. would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents — cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute Department of Homeland Security agents implicated in violent encounters, according to people briefed on the decision.

If enacted, such a change would sharply limit law enforcement scrutiny of immigration agents, as the Trump administration draws mounting criticism over killings at the hands of federal officers. In the last two weeks, two fatal shootings by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Texas and Maine have thrust the government's tactics back into the spotlight.

F.B.I. managers around the country received a written notice informing them of the change on Thursday, according to the people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal communications. The same day, some ICE agents around the country were notified by their F.B.I. counterparts.

The guidance shared with them said that the bureau would stop investigating claims of assaults against Department of Homeland Security agents, the people said. Even though such investigations are intended to determine whether the officers were in fact attacked, they can provide a crucial means of gathering evidence implicating the agents themselves.

Turns out that ICE agents also hate ICE.

Current ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers, as well as retired senior ICE officials still dialed into daily operations, said the White House's approach to immigration enforcement may prove detrimental to its mass deportation operation because it puts new recruits on the street who, sources claimed, were not adequately trained. Sources additionally say that officers have burnt out while working overtime month after month — all on top of functioning in an already tense and dangerous environment, likening the situation to a powder keg ready to blow.

One ICE officer hired prior to this administration said "mistakes are made because [officers are] overworked" on top of "pressure" from leadership "to get [new recruits] guns and badges quick."

"We're being pushed to a breaking point. I don't know where it will go, but it's nowhere good," another officer said.

Good news! Gestapo is about to spend $20 million of U.S. taxpayer money to outfit its violent, poorly trained, masked agents with "conductive distraction and de-escalation devices" - aka Shock Gloves.

Civil rights advocates expressed alarm at the plan, saying ICE officers already face criticism for their use of force with little oversight or accountability while enforcing their Fuhrer's purge of the ethnically unpure.

Meanwhile, Gestapo agents threatened a U.S. citizen in Virginia, pointing a gun as she sat in the driver's seat of her car.

And this bit of being laser-focused on covering their fascist arses ...

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/us/politics/dhs-inquiry-immigration-protests-minnesota.html?

Four days after Alex Pretti was fatally shot while filming officers taking part in the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in Minnesota, the Homeland Security Department quietly opened an investigation at its office in St. Paul.

The target was not the Border Patrol agents who had killed Mr. Pretti, a 37-year-old government nurse, in late January. Instead, it was several left-leaning political organizations — labor unions, a climate change group, socialist collectives — that investigators believed had provided help and money to what they described as the "violent opportunists and agitators" on the street, according to newly released government documents.

As part of their inquiry, the documents show, homeland security officials used an array of invasive tactics during the first half of this year to gather information on many groups and individuals who were never accused of crimes, crossing the line that has traditionally stood between investigating criminal activity and political dissent.

In one instance, officials used administrative subpoenas to obtain more than three years of financial records from the Sunrise Movement, an environmental action group, and a labor union, the Communications Workers of America. That time frame went well beyond the civil unrest in Minnesota, which was prompted by the deployment of thousands of immigration agents to the state during the winter.

These are the kinds of "criminals" being targeted by der Fuhrer's Gestapo:

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/16/us/trump-immigration-crackdown.html?

Brent Jindra, a tech salesman, voted for President Trump three times, drawn by his aggressive immigration agenda. He never imagined the crackdown would ensnare his own wife.

Last month, moments after the couple got off their flight in Burbank, Calif., a young man in a brown hooded sweatshirt stopped Galina Bobreneva.

"Congratulations, you've been chosen for secondary screening," he told her, according to the couple's recollection.

The man was a federal agent, and after questioning Ms. Bobreneva for about 15 minutes, he led her away in handcuffs to an unmarked vehicle.

"I'm only doing my job," he said. "Everything will be OK."

So began a 16-day ordeal: a night on the floor of a basement holding cell in downtown Los Angeles; two weeks in a Mojave Desert detention center and a frantic legal effort to win her release.

Freed on a $35,000 bond with an electronic monitor clamped to her ankle, she is now fighting to stay in the United States against federal charges of overstaying her visa.

Ms. Bobreneva, who is from Russia, has a pending green card application, and her lawyer asserts that she was never out of lawful status.

Her case represents a new front in President Trump's mass deportation drive: arrests at airports of people whose visas have expired but who have active immigration cases and no criminal history.
