Five Portland Police officers are standing between the crowd and the doors to the high-rise building that houses Collins’ office. The doors are locked and the office is empty for the weekend.

It doesn’t seem like protestors are trying to get inside, as they did in Biddeford on Monday. They are gathering, chanting and banging drums in a public area outside the office.

Many tourists and workers at nearby businesses paused and pulled out their phones to record the demonstration.

“This is American democracy. It’s not disrupting anything for us,” said Brian Dubren, a visitor from New Hampshire.

The crowd briefly parted to allow a fire truck to pass through the protest.

Rain has started falling heavier over the demonstration. Some have started to leave, others have put on ponchos and pulled out umbrellas. It’s unclear whether the rain will dampen the march.

Protesters in Portland and Biddeford marched to Collins’ offices in each city during other protests earlier this week.

His statements were met with a roar of shouting and applause.

The speakers are telling the crowd to vote Sen. Susan Collins out of office, referring to her vote approving $70 billion more in funding for ICE. 

“ICE pulled the trigger, but Collins gave the gun,” the crowd chanted.

Passing cars beeped their horns in support.

There’s been a steady stream of people joining the protest through the afternoon.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation, who organized the demonstration, is handing out picket signs reading “ICE pulled the trigger, Susan Collins gave the gun.”

“That was assault!” the man shouted.

“Hey, thanks for the donation,” he said to the livestream in a quieter tone.

Police broke up the crowd as the woman said she didn’t want to press charges. Protestors began loudly blowing high-pitched whistles at the duo.

“We’re here to preach the gospel,” said a man who asked not to be named.

Another anti-ICE protest is scheduled to begin at the square at 3 p.m.

The atmosphere is much more jovial than the other protests in Portland and Biddeford this week. Music is playing through loud speakers and cars are honking as they drive by.

A larger protest is slated to be held this afternoon, also in Monument Square.

Markey said he is also alarmed that, while billions of dollars have been allocated for the Department of Homeland Security, agents in Maine have yet to receive body cameras.

“There is no excuse for the lack of documentation and accountability around Johan Guerrero’s death despite the extraordinary amount of money that Trump and his Republican allies have given to ICE,” he said.

The senator also stopped in Biddeford on Friday evening to attend a protest at Mechanics Park.

She sent Mullin several questions about the officers involved in the incident, including their training and whether they have been placed on leave since the shooting. She also raised concerns about whether the officers were wearing body cameras.

Pingree also cited reporting by The Associated Press about ICE officer David Brouillette, who allegedly had a history of violent behavior.

“There have been credible and alarming reports about the officer who allegedly discharged the weapon that resulted in Mr. Guerrero’s death, including a history of ‘terrifying and violent’ behavior,” Pingree wrote in the letter. “How do you ensure the quality and experience of these new hires?”

She also urged DHS to fully cooperate with Maine authorities in any investigation into the shooting.

“This needless death raises the question of whether DHS has learned anything from prior tragedies, or whether DHS has the decency to care,” Pingree said in the letter. “If the Department continues to ignore systematic failures and dismiss each fatal shooting as an isolated event, then the loss of trust in this institution is well and truly deserved, and we need to consider how to fundamentally change our approach to immigration enforcement.”
