Maine ICE Shooting Witness Confirms Agents Issued Several Warnings Before “Car Was Put into Drive and Was Trying to Hit the ICE Officer”

A witness to the ICE-involved shooting in Maine on Monday completely obliterated the anti-ICE narrative being pushed by Democrats and the left-wing media by confirming the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the incident.  

26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero of Colombia attempted to run over ICE agents during a targeted enforcement operation on Monday morning, and he was fatally shot, The Gateway Pundit reported.

The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement, “ICE was conducting targeted surveillance on the last known address of an illegal alien with a final order of removal. An illegal alien departed the residence in a vehicle.”

“ICE law enforcement attempted to conduct a vehicle stop. The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and fearing for public safety an officer discharged his weapon,” the statement continued.

While the left claims that the driver was an innocent shot by masked, unidentified men in unmarked vehicles and not the intended target of the ICE operations, 18-year-old Lucas Scott, a resident of Wells, Maine, told the Press Herald on Monday, the exact same story that DHS gave.

Even if Guerrero wasn’t the original target of the operation, it’s the same story every time: If someone attempts to ram an ICE agent with their vehicle, they will likely be shot at.

ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Whose Criminal Record Dates Back 35 Years

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested an illegal alien in Miami-Dade County, Florida, whose criminal record dates back to 1991, Breitbart News has learned.

On June 11, ICE agents in Miami arrested 58-year-old illegal alien Elias Cardoza-Torres of Cuba, who has been convicted of selling heroin, burglary, and vehicle theft, among other crimes.

“ICE works closely with our law enforcement partners to remove criminal illegal aliens from our communities,” Acting ICE Director David Venturella said in a statement.

According to Venturella, Cardoza-Torres entered the United States in 1989 as a parolee and never adjusted his status to secure a green card. In November 1991, he was convicted of felony cocaine possession and in August 1997, he was convicted of burglary.

In October 1999, Cardoza-Torres was convicted of selling heroin. The following year, in April 2000, a federal immigration judge ordered him deported from the United States but he remained in the country for more than 26 years.

“We’re talking about an individual who completely disregarded our immigration laws and went on to ignore our criminal laws, as well,” Venturella said. “Fortunately, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office has turned him over to ICE custody, where he’ll remain pending removal.”

In more recent years, Cardoza-Torres was convicted of vehicle theft, drug possession, cocaine possession, and felony weapons offenses.

San Antonio Activist Groups Protest Fatal ICE Shooting in Houston

Approximately 100 people gathered near the steps of City Hall in San Antonio to protest the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) involved fatal shooting of an illegal alien in Houston earlier in the week. Authorities allege the suspect attempted to flee from agents conducting a targeted enforcement operation and was shot as he allegedly tried to run over an officer with his vehicle.

Breitbart Texas observed Friday’s protest at San Antonio City Hall where members of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) and other leftist groups carried posters that read, “JUSTICE FOR LORENZO SALGADO ARAUJO.” Organizers shouted chants on a bullhorn and gave speeches calling for an end to ICE presence in San Antonio and in other parts of the country. Protesters denounced the incident and called for the abolition of ICE altogether.

A member of the San Antonio chapter of the PSL rallied the group, calling for the abolishment of ICE. Corrie Rosen, who has previously identified herself as a public-school teacher, spoke about Lorenzo Salgado-Araujo in front of a makeshift memorial display, saying, “He was in the country for 35 years, but let’s be clear, I don’t care if he was here for 35 years or 35 days, the injustice does not stand.”

Government officials told Breitbart Texas late last week that Salgado applied for a work permit earlier this year. On the application, he allegedly said he entered the U.S. in 2005. His family stated at a press conference that he had been here much longer.

Rosen criticized the future opening of an ICE detention center on the East Side of the city, calling the facility a concentration camp. Rosen rallied the protesters, telling the crowd, “The Eastside detention center is across the street from a school that is being closed; we need money for jobs and education, not for racist deportations.”

Rosen did not tell the crowd that the school, Essence Preparatory Charter School, was ordered closed by the Texas Education Agency for failing performance in three of the four years it was open, and that its closure was not related to the future opening of an ICE detention center nearby.

Crazed Democrat Al Green Defends Illegal Alien who Tried to Ram ICE Agents, Says Americans Have an “Obligation” to Give Illegals Protection Under the Constitution

Civil rights groups and Democratic officials held a press conference on Friday on behalf of an illegal alien who was killed while attacking ICE agents, and Rep. Al Green (D-TX) claimed Americans have a “duty” to ensure illegals are protected by the Constitution. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, an illegal alien from Mexico who tried to run over ICE agents during a traffic stop, was fatally shot after ramming an ICE vehicle.

After attempting to flee, refusing to follow multiple verbal commands, and attempting to run over an ICE agent, Araujo was shot and taken to a hospital, where he later died. Of course, the Democrats and leftist media are now losing their minds trying to defend an illegal alien who attacked ICE.

Lunatic Al Green went out claiming that the illegal alien “belongs to the Constitution” and “should not receive any less attention from the Constitution that I or any of you would receive.”

“Mr. Arajo belongs to us. He belongs to the Constitution of the United States of America,” Green said during brief remarks at the press conference.

“That Constitution applies to him, just as it applies to me. He should not receive any less attention from the Constitution that I or any of you would receive. He belongs to us. He’s in our jurisdiction.”

Media Claim: He Fought for the U.S. in Afghanistan, and ICE Killed Him. Here’s What Really Happened

Any man who fought against the Taliban is a hero, but that alone does not mean he qualifies for a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV). On November 26, 2025, Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who had served in a CIA-backed Afghan paramilitary unit, shot two West Virginia National Guard members near the White House, killing one and critically wounding the other.

Following the shooting, President Trump ordered a “re-examination” of every Afghan national admitted to the United States under the Biden administration. An estimated 190,000 to 200,000 Afghans have been resettled in the United States since the 2021 withdrawal, most under humanitarian parole rather than the SIV program.

On March 14, 2026, Afghan national Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal died in ICE custody in Richardson, Texas. Media coverage described him as a “special forces soldier,” wording that could be interpreted to mean he served in U.S. Special Forces. However, he was not a member of the U.S. military.

AfghanEvac states that he partnered with U.S. Army Special Forces, specifically the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), in Paktika Province beginning in 2005, rather than serving in the U.S. military.

AfghanEvac is an advocacy and volunteer coalition formed after the 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan to help evacuate and resettle Afghans who worked with U.S. forces and to advocate for their immigration cases.

The phrase “worked with U.S. forces,” as used by AfghanEvac and in much of the reporting, is a broad umbrella term. It encompasses the full range of Afghan nationals who supported the U.S. mission, not just those in combat roles. This includes interpreters and translators, logistics and transportation contractors, drivers, base support personnel, including laundry, food service, construction, and maintenance workers, intelligence and cultural advisors, as well as members of partnered Afghan military or police units.

Antifa Now Threatening Judges Who Sentenced Terrorists Who Attacked Texas ICE Facility

Last week, two Texas judges sentenced a group of terrorists to 30, 50, and even 100 years in federal prison over their attack on a Texas ICE facility that resulted in the shooting of a law enforcement officer.

The media desperately tried to reframe the attack as a protest gone bad, but it didn’t work and the story quietly fell off the radar.

Now, members of Antifa are openly threatening the judges on social media. Do they want to join their friends in prison?

Andy Ngo reports:

Far-left extremists are making violent death threats against two federal Texas judges after they handed down long prison sentences to convicted members of a North Texas Antifa terror cell.

The threats followed last week’s first batch of sentencing where eight convicts received prison terms ranging from 30 years to 100 years after becoming the first defendants convicted in a federal Antifa terrorism case in U.S. history.

The threats are being directed at U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman and Chief U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor.

Many of the threats were responses to updates on social media platform Bluesky from the DFW Support Committee, the far-left group that has been organizing support and cash donations for the defendants.

“So, when are we burning it all down?” asked one user under an alias. “He has an address,” referring to Judge O’Connor.

Despicable: Kathy Hochul Urges New Yorkers to Report ICE Agents Who Wear Masks to Prevent Being Doxed and Targeted by Violent Leftists

New York Governor Kathy Hochul took to X on Friday to encourage people in the state to report Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who wear masks while carrying out their duties.

Masks help to protect agents from doxxing and violence by leftist activists who have been compiling databases of their identities, family homes, license plates, and more.

In her posts, Hochul promoted a reporting form run by New York State Attorney General Letitia James, directing people to submit information on agents allegedly violating the state’s new law against masked law enforcement.

The first post read in full:

NEW YORKERS:

As of 12:00 AM, New York’s law prohibiting most law enforcement officials from wearing masks while carrying out their duties is now in effect.

New Yorkers have a right to know who is exercising law enforcement authority in their communities.

The second post linked to the reporting form.

Antifa Terrorists Sentenced to 50 to 100 Years in Prison for Attack on Texas ICE Detention Center

Eight of the ten Antifa members convicted of terrorism charges for an attack on a Texas ICE detention center were sentenced to at least 50 years in prison on Tuesday.

The Antifa ringleader Benjamin Song was sentenced to 100 years in prison.

CBS News reported:

Eight people who were found guilty of terrorism-related charges earlier this year for a 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, learned their punishments on Tuesday. One member of the group, identified as the group’s leader, was sentenced to a century in prison.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas said on Monday that sentencing for the defendants would happen Tuesday morning. The verdicts, handed down in March, came as the defendants stood accused in the July 4, 2025, plot targeting the Prairieland ICE detention center following weeks of testimony from investigators, law enforcement and cooperating witnesses.

Benjamin Song was hit with the longest prison sentence: 100 years behind bars. Maricela Rueda was sentenced to 70 years in prison. Autumn Hill was sentenced to 50 years, along with Zachary Evetts, Savanna Batten, Meagan Morris, and Elizabeth Soto. Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Prosecutors said that the group launched a premeditated terror attack on the detention facility inspired by antifa ideology, by setting off fireworks, vandalizing property, and shooting at police officers who responded. One officer was struck in the neck with a bullet and survived.

In March, a jury found nine Antifa members guilty of terrorism charges in an attack on an ICE detention center in Texas.

The nine indicted defendants: Cameron Arnold, a/k/a Autunm Hill, Zachary Evetts, Benjamin Song, Savanna Batten, Bradford Morris, a/k/a Meagan Morris, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto, and Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada.

Last 4th of July, nearly a dozen Antifa members dressed in black bloc and body armor descended on the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas.

The terrorists fired off explosives, vandalized federal vehicles, and fired shots at police officers.

A police officer was shot in the neck.

The defendants were found guilty on riot charges, providing material support to terrorists, conspiracy to use and carry an explosive, and using and carrying an explosive, three counts of attempted murder of an officer, three counts of discharging a firearm during a violent crime, corruptly concealing a document and conspiracy to conceal documents.
