Protests took place outside Senator Susan Collins' office in Biddeford, Maine, on July 13, 2026, following the shooting of a 26-year-old man by immigration agents. Demonstrators chanted "Vote her out!" in response to the incident, which occurred as the victim was reportedly heading to work and was witnessed by his three-year-old daughter. The protests were sparked by the shooting, which occurred less than a week after a similar incident in Texas.
The Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition identified the victim as a Colombian man authorized to work in the U.S. Collins, who is seeking re-election for her sixth term, had previously voted to approve a funding package for ICE and Border Patrol. In a statement on social media, she called for a full investigation into the shooting. The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, and the Department of Homeland Security has not yet commented.
