Bishop Bickerton’s response to the Latest ICE Shooting: Rembmering Joan Sebastian Guerro

On July 14, the Bishop Bickerton released a statement in response to the latest ICE shooting in Houston. It reads – in part – “On Monday morning, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a 26-year-old from Colombia, died in a shooting involving federal immigration officers on Pool Street in Biddeford, Maine. According to the Portland Press Herald, Mr. Guerrero was from Colombia, was authorized to work in the United States, and was on his way to work.  Reports are coming in that Mr. Guerrero was not the man the agents were looking for.  This ICE killing comes less than a week after ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo of Houston Texas.”

The complete statement is published on the United Methodist Church & Society website, HERE. The photo above is from another statement about the shooting, published yesterday (7/13) by the Unted Meethodist Immigration Task Force, which you can read HERE.
