Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the death of Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a Colombian national who died on July 13, 2026, in Biddeford, Maine, following an operation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Colombian President Gustavo Petro responded to Harris’s statement with a strong rebuke of ICE, calling for the agency to be reported globally. Petro characterized ICE’s actions as “crimes against humanity.” The incident occurred during an ICE operation, raising questions about the agency's tactics and accountability. Petro's statement intensifies existing scrutiny of U.S. immigration policies and practices. The case is likely to further strain relations between Colombia and the United States, as well as fuel debate over immigration enforcement.
