For the second time in a week, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed an immigrant. A 26-year-old Columbian man was killed yesterday in Maine. Some Maine elected officials say the victim wasn't the target of an ICE warrant. And a dozen states, led by California, are suing to block Paramount from buying Warner Bros.
