Mike Johnson Claims Ignorance of Fatal Maine ICE Shooting, Avoids Accountability Questions
House Speaker Mike Johnson faced questions at a Tuesday press conference about a fatal ICE shooting in Biddeford, Maine, where 26-year-old father Joan Sebastian Guerrero was killed by an agent. Guerrero was reportedly authorized to work in the U.S. and was not the target of an immigration operation. The agents involved were not wearing body cameras, contradicting DHS assurances to Congress about expanding camera use. When asked by reporter Benjamin Weiss about congressional accountability for DHS, Johnson replied, 'I don't know anything about this event,' claiming he had worked 22 hours and had not received a briefing. The incident marks the eleventh fatal ICE shooting under Donald Trump's current term. Johnson preemptively defended himself against accusations of turning a blind eye to inconvenient news.
