Jackbooted, black-shirted, trigger-happy ICE enforcement must leave our streets and neighborhoods in Maine. How can citizens reach any conclusion other than that if we are to remain human beings with any moral compass?
The recent gunning down of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a young father in Biddeford, is the latest example of the Department of Homeland Security’s botched overreach. An innocent man, going to work, gunned down in front of his family.
This is not a time for equivocation by any political leader in Maine — whether Republican or Democrat. Show some spine. ICE out of Maine.
