On a Monday afternoon in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old Colombian man was shot and killed by ICE officers executing a warrant meant for someone else — a death that marks the second fatal incident in a single week and the ninth since the current administration's immigration enforcement escalation began. He was not a name on a list; he was a person caught at the wrong intersection of place and moment. His death raises enduring questions about how power is exercised at the edges of a warrant, and what it means when the machinery of enforcement claims a life it was never authorized to take.
