A person was killed ⁠on Monday in ⁠a shooting involving US immigration agents in ⁠Maine, a top state lawmaker said, days after a man was fatally shot by a US agent during a traffic stop in Texas.

“This morning a shooting occurred in Biddeford. A person was killed. ICE was involved,” Ryan Fecteau, the ‌speaker of the Maine House of Representatives and a native of Biddeford, wrote on Facebook. “State Police and the Department of Public Safety are now on scene to gather details and would expect the FBI to investigate as well.”

Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Department of Homeland Security officials could not be immediately reached for comment.

Biddeford police did not comment ⁠and referred an inquiry to ICE, while the mayor did not immediately respond to a Reuters ‌request for comment.

Biddeford, a city of over 21,000 people, is located 15 miles (24km) south of Portland and 90 miles north of Boston.

Monday’s incident comes six ‌days after an ICE agent fatally shot a man identified as Lorenzo Salgado ⁠Araujo in Houston ⁠during a traffic stop, sparking protests in the city’s heavily Hispanic East End. Hours after that shooting, ICE said in a ‌statement that Salgado, a Mexican national living in the US illegally for more than three decades, rammed a law enforcement vehicle ‌with his van ‌and attempted to run over an officer who fired in self-defence.
