His name was Joan Sebastian Guerrero. He was a young father. His three-year-old daughter was in the backseat. He wasn’t the target of an investigation. He was driving to work.
ICE shot and killed him.
This rogue agency must be abolished. Susan Collins must be held accountable for funding this terror.

The 'about' section for the Nakba exhibit at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights paints a grim, one-sided picture.
They mention a "regional war,” but leave out how it started: with 5 Arab armies attacking Israel.
They also leave out the regional context. Across the Middle East, Jewish communities that had existed for centuries were uprooted.
My grandmothers, from Iraq and Tunisia, both became refugees as their neighbors turned on them. Their story is shared by 850,000 Mizrahi Jews.
Israel was the only country that would take them in.
All displacement is tragic. But we cannot have an honest dialogue when history is based on narrative instead of truth.
The thing that pisses me off….. is that we haven’t held a single one of the ICE agents accountable.
They are going to keep murdering people if they don’t believe there will be repercussions.
WHO ARE THESE ICE OFFICERS??
Alas, Mr. Congressman, I'm not lying. And I started this line of questioning assuming you were telling the truth. I've written long essays on extremist Israeli violence in the West Bank. I know it happens. I was ready, at first glance, to believe it happened here. But it didn't. This wasn't Israeli violence. This was agitprop for your American audiences.
I said explicitly that I'm not familiar with the details of that area. It took a lot of effort for JPost to find out what it found out -- which was that it was a closed military zone only recently opened.
But if you'd coordinated your visit with Israeli authorities, this would have been sorted out from the start. Those soldiers weren't angry or aggressive, they seemed mostly just confused about the status of the area and how to handle your visit.
Because, you know, there was no coordination.
JPost suggests all that in the article you yourself shared.
And what of the violence? Your group had cameras -- a professional photographer and at least one bodycam -- yet you've produced no evidence that I've seen of the violence you claim to have experienced.
Remember that you claimed the violence was sufficient to demand that Netanyahu order the prosecution of those soldiers.
I've seen that sort of violence before; if you produce that footage, I'll join your demand for prosecution. That's not rhetoric. I really will, wholeheartedly.
But if you don't, I think it's safe to assume you blew up a small inconvenience caused by your own refusal to talk to Israelis.
In a similar vein, you used the word "detained" as if you were unlawfully held against your will -- and hide behind its second meaning, that you were a bit delayed in driving forward into the area. The first is on the spectrum of kidnapping crimes, the second is the sort of problem you'd encounter at the entrance to a federal building as you search your pockets for an ID. Which was it?
Anyway, you were angling for some domestic political brownie points, and congratulations, you got 'em.
Trump has unleashed chaos. ICE is shooting people on the streets of our cities. He is deploying our troops to fight a war with no end game. He is lying about our elections to end democracy as we know it in America.
We must continue to call out his lies and end this madness.
His name was Joan Sebastian Guerrero.
- He was here legally.
- He was authorized to work.
- He had Social Security Number.
- He was NOT target of ICE investigation.
- DHS: He did NOT try to kill ICE agents.
He was executed in front of his 3 year old daughter.
RARE HONESTY FROM THE UN 🇺🇳
A UN official confirms Hamas is obstructing humanitarian aid in Gaza, including assaulting truck drivers.
He called it a “dangerous pattern of intimidation, violence, and obstruction.”
I’m sure the Free Palestine movement, who cares so much about aid for Gazans, will be organizing protests against Hamas soon.
I met with the victims of October 7 including the survivors of the Nova Concert. We also met with Arab Sheiks of Hebron and the Druze in the Golan Heights. They have an incredible and stunning story to tell that doesn’t fit Ro Khanna’s story or the false narrative being spun.

MAJOR BREAKING: Hunter Biden has been awarded $1.7 MILLION in a defamation lawsuit against Trump adviser Patrick Byrne, who falsely accused him of seeking an $800 million bribe from Iran in exchange for influencing U.S. policy.
Lies have consequences.
After years of reckless smears, accountability is finally catching up.
Good for Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden awarded $1.7 million in defamation lawsuit against former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne
Patrick Byrne falsely claimed Hunter sought an $800 million bribe from Iran in exchange for influencing U.S. policy.
Isn't it funny how the mainstream media suddenly loses interest when the truth destroys one of its favorite anti-Biden narratives.
Yes, you read that right: @HunterBiden won a defamation case over bullshit claims that he was corrupt.
And remember the FBI informant who claimed Joe and Hunter Biden took bribes from Burisma? He pleaded guilty to lying. But you probably didn't know that because it only made it to the back page headlines at the time.
The press gave the accusations endless headlines and wall-to-wall coverage. But when the stories collapse, the accusers are exposed, and the Bidens are vindicated?
Crickets.
Because the lie was profitable. The truth was inconvenient.
The lie gets the headline. The Bidens get smeared. The truth gets buried.
