One person was reportedly shot and killed during an ICE operation in Biddeford, Maine, according to the state\u2019s speaker of the house, Ryan Fecteau.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis morning a shooting occurred in Biddeford. A person was killed. ICE was involved. State Police and the Department of Public Safety are now on scene to gather details and would expect the FBI to investigate as well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Police confirmed to local news<\/a> that the area where the shooting was reported has been closed and that there was significant police presence.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Updated at\u00a009.23 EDT<\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Key events<\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Preliminary findings from the DC medical examiner\u2019s office have found that Lindsey Graham<\/strong> suffered from an aortic dissection, caused by arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, a statement from his office said yesterday.<\/p>\n A death certificate remains pending until all toxicological and microscopic tests are finalized, the statement said, adding: \u201cAt that point the death certificate will be updated to reflect the cause of death and appropriately classify the manner of death.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Further to that, South Carolina governor Henry McMaster<\/strong>\u2019s office has announced that he will hold a press conference this afternoon to announce who he is selecting to fill the remainder of Lindsey Graham<\/strong>\u2019s term.<\/p>\n He will also make remarks on Graham\u2019s life and service at the news conference at 4pm ET.<\/p>\n The person appointed will serve as senator until Graham\u2019s term ends in early January. There will be a special Republican primary on 11 August for his permanent successor.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Donald Trump<\/strong> has said that he\u2019s recommended that Lindsey Graham<\/strong>\u2019s sister be named as his temporary replacement in the Senate.<\/p>\n Trump posted on social media that South Carolina governor Henry McMaster<\/strong> should appoint Darline<\/strong> Graham Nordone<\/strong> to fulfill the rest of Graham\u2019s term, which expires in January.<\/p>\n double quotation markI recommended, to Governor Henry McMaster, Lindsey Graham\u2019s wonderful sister, Darline, to serve as interim Senator from the Great State of South Carolina. his would be a fabulous tribute to Lindsey, who loved her dearly!<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Video footage circulating on social media appears to show police tending to a person on the ground beside a white vehicle with bullet holes in the windscreen. A white SUV appears to have crashed into the side of that car.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n According to the Portland Press Herald, protesters are already gathering at the corner of Pool Street and Foss Street near the scene of the shooting.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Maine Democratic US representative Chellie Pingree<\/strong> said in a video posted on social media that she was driving to Portland to catch a flight to Washington when she learned of the reported shooting. She said she was seeking answers about the circumstances surrounding the shooting, including whether officers were wearing body cameras, adding:<\/p>\n double quotation markMore than anything else, I want to know, \u2018Why are you in Maine?\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n The Trump administration launched a surge in immigration enforcement across Maine in January dubbed \u201cOperation Catch of the Day\u201d. Immigration officials said in late January that they had ceased \u201cenhanced operations\u201d in Maine after making hundreds of arrests.<\/p>\n A Homeland Security spokesperson told the Associated Press at the time that some Maine arrests were of people \u201cconvicted of horrific crimes including aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and endangering the welfare of a child.\u201d But court records painted a slightly different story. While some had felony convictions, others were detainees with unresolved immigration proceedings or who were arrested but never convicted of a crime.<\/strong><\/p>\n Some community groups and advocates that rallied against the surge earlier this year have already started to organize in response to today\u2019s shooting, according to CNN, with the group Maine Resists planning an emergency community rally in the city at noon, and the racial justice and immigrant rights group Project Relief saying it is in touch with the victim\u2019s family.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Updated at\u00a011.27 EDT<\/p>\n Former Maine state senator Troy Jackson<\/strong>, who has launched a bid to replace Graham Platner on the Democratic US Senate ballot, has this update<\/a> on X:<\/p>\n double quotation markI\u2019ve been alerted to the fatal ICE shooting in Biddeford this morning. Our team is monitoring this situation very closely and will provided updates as we learn more. My heart is with Biddeford \u2013 and with all Mainers.<\/p>\n Jackson added in a subsequent post:<\/p>\n double quotation markOur immigrant communities are under attack by ICE. For too long, federal agents have been abducting our neighbors in brazen violation of the Constitution, and today, they have tragically escalated even further. This rogue agency must be abolished.

The Department of Homeland Security has claimed that an ICE officer fired at the van in self-defense after Salgado Araujo, who officials described as an \u201cillegal alien\u201d, rammed an ICE vehicle. They have provided no evidence.<\/p>\n The three men that Salgado Araujo was driving said he was shot through a passenger window \u2013 and that the ICE officer who fired was not in front of the van or even in danger, a lawyer who has spoken with them said on Friday.<\/p>\n His family has also disputed the account from ICE. They said lawyers, who were helping him apply for a work permit, had explained how he should behave if immigration agents stopped him. Salgado Araujo was close to obtaining legal status when he was killed, they said.<\/p>\n \u201cHe knew what to do,\u201d his oldest son, Ronaldo Salgado, told reporters. \u201cHe knew not to sign anything. He knew that the first phone call he should make should be either to myself or to my mom. So that way we can get the process started of getting him out.\u201d<\/p>\n He believes his father may have been scared that he was being followed by unmarked vehicles, worried someone was planning to steal his van or his tools.<\/p>\n Salgado Araujo\u2019s death marked the 10th fatal shooting by federal immigration officials in the US since the second Trump administration took office<\/strong>, a review of public reports by the Guardian shows. His killing has outraged Houston leaders, sparked protests and renewed public demands for accountability from ICE and scrutiny over Donald Trump<\/strong>\u2019s immigration crackdown.<\/p>\n Salgado Araujo entered the US more than 30 years ago, settling in Houston with his wife where they raised their three children.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are never going to forget that his blood is on Donald Trump\u2019s hands,\u201d Christian Menefee<\/strong>, a US representative, said. \u201cWe are not at war. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was not a casualty. He was a human being who was murdered by our government.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Updated at\u00a010.49 EDT<\/p>\n The Maine Wire reports <\/a>that the fatal shooting with one person killed in Biddeford Maine did involve ICE, and that there will be a press conference with more details.<\/p>\n No time has been provided for the impending press conference.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n The Democrat\u2019s outgoing senator for Michigan Gary Peters has endorsed member of Congress Haley Stevens to be his successor over Abdul El-Sayed in the state\u2019s neck-and-neck primary race set for 4 August.<\/p>\n \u201cShe has demonstrated to me time and time again that she\u2019s a fighter,\u201d Peters told the Detroit News<\/a>. \u201cWe need workhorses in the Senate, and we need someone who can do that job from day one. This is not a place for on-the-job training.\u201d<\/p>\n The razor-thin race<\/a> has pit the more moderate, pro-Israel Democrat in Stevens versus the insurgent El-Sayed who has advocated for universal healthcare and ending military aid to Israel.<\/p>\n The winner of that race would go on to face the Republican challenger, the Trump-endorsed former member of Congress Mike Rogers, in the November midterm in one of the country\u2019s most significant races to determine which party controls the Senate.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Updated at\u00a010.01 EDT<\/p>\n Donald Trump is calling on every American flag in the country to be lowered for the week in honor of the late Republican senator Lindsey Graham.<\/p>\n “I am ordering all American Flags throughout the United States lowered to Half Mast until Saturday evening,\u201d Trump posted on Truth Social.<\/p>\n Graham was 71 years old.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n One person was reportedly shot and killed during an ICE operation in Biddeford, Maine, according to the state\u2019s speaker of the house, Ryan Fecteau.<\/p>\n \u201cThis morning a shooting occurred in Biddeford.

Racers \u00c1lex Palou, Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>, Fox Sports CEO Eric Shanks <\/strong>and others are set to be there, according to the reporting.<\/p>\n ShareChris Stein<\/span><\/p>\n When Democrats and Republicans were earlier this year locked in a standoff that had plunged the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) into the longest partial government shutdown in US history, news of a path forward emerged in the form of a statement from Republican senator Lindsey Graham.<\/strong><\/p>\n By announcing that the budget committee he chairs would set to work on a measure to fund the agencies leading Donald Trump\u2019s mass deportation campaign for the remainder of his presidency, Graham played a major role in rallying the GOP behind a plan that reopened DHS.<\/p>\n It was a familiar role for Graham, whose office announced he had died on Saturday at the age of 71 after \u201ca brief and sudden illness\u201d. During his 23 years as senator for South Carolina, Graham developed a reputation as a dealmaker, appearing in the midst of critical negotiations with the Democratic opposition and members of his own party. It was a role he continued in the age of Trump, a leader Graham supported even if he had reservations with his approach to foreign policy.<\/p>\n \u201cLindsey was part of every important policy issue and an indispensable player in every Senate \u2018gang\u2019,\u201d said Dick Durbin, the number two Senate Democrat. \u201cHe was a fierce Republican partisan one day and a key bipartisan ally the next.\u201d<\/p>\n In the public eye, Graham\u2019s reputation as the former often outshined the latter. While he would take part in negotiations with Democrats, he rarely went as far as to buck the White House when it had an occupant from his party. After gaining national renown for harshly criticizing Trump during the 2016 election then transforming into a supporter, Graham was a key player in the Senate Republicans\u2019 failed effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and took part in Trump\u2019s attempts to prevent Joe Biden from assuming office after the 2020 election.<\/p>\n But his career was marked by repeated instances of working across the aisle to resolve thorny legislative issues, with varying degrees of success.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Robert Mackey<\/span><\/p>\n The US senator Mitch McConnell on Sunday revealed for the first time that a fall led to his hospitalization, breaking the silence about the Kentucky Republican\u2019s condition after weeks of mounting speculation about his health.<\/strong><\/p>\n McConnell, 84, said in a statement that he has undergone a battery of tests as doctors try to determine what led to his fall. He explained the long silence about his condition by saying that \u201cfolks of my generation often hesitate to share the vulnerability that comes with growing older\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cEven in the public eye, I feel that same instinct \u2013 I can\u2019t help it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n McConnell said he is now in a rehabilitation center and will not be returning to the Senate \u201cquite yet\u201d. He said he continues to work with his staff on Senate business in the meantime.<\/p>\n The statement included a smiling picture of McConnell with his wife, Elaine Chao, a tacit response to speculation online that he had died or was incapacitated. McConnell held a copy of Sunday\u2019s Washington Post sports section<\/a> in his hand.<\/p>\n Sunday\u2019s statement came after his hospitalization on 14 June. McConnell\u2019s office for weeks provided little information, insisting only that he was \u201creceiving excellent care\u201d and recovering.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Updated at\u00a010.40 EDT<\/p>\n George Chidi<\/span><\/p>\n South Carolina\u2019s governor, Henry McMaster, has the political decision of a lifetime with the unexpected death in office of Senator Lindsey Graham. The Republican governor and loyalist of Donald Trump will appoint a new senator to serve out the remainder of Graham\u2019s term, which ends on 3 January.<\/strong><\/p>\n Whoever McMaster appoints will likely have a leg up in a special primary election on 11 August to fill Graham\u2019s place on the November ballot, which he won despite facing five challengers from his party in June. That election calendar favors candidates with wide name recognition and deep institutional support.<\/p>\n The candidate would still run against Democratic nominee Annie Andrews, a pediatrician who gained significant support in the red state, but still faces an uphill challenge.<\/p>\n Congressman Joe Wilson has reportedly expressed interest in the seat. Of the Republican delegation to Washington, Wilson is the longest tenured. He has represented South Carolina\u2019s second congressional district since 2001, and his activism within the state\u2019s Republican party predates its dominance in the state\u2019s politics.<\/p>\n \u201cWith the passing of Senator Lindsay Graham he will always be cherished as an American Patriot tireless for peace through strength successful defeating totalitarians,\u201d Wilson wrote<\/a> on X. \u201cAll three generations of the Wilson family extend deepest sympathy and appreciation of his dedicated service.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Hello and welcome to the US politics live blog.<\/p>\n Republican lawmakers return to the Capitol this week after the unexpected death in office of Lindsey Graham, as the party seeks to appoint a new senator to see out his term.<\/strong><\/p>\n Lawmakers from both parties are eager to highlight before voters legislative victories ahead of the midterms, where control of Congress is at stake.<\/p>\n But for Senate Republicans, who are already navigating an array of demands from Trump, their agenda grew further complicated over the weekend with the death of Lindsey Graham, the budget committee chair who is a key player in negotiating a party line bill to fund additional defense spending and other priorities outlined by the president.<\/p>\n South Carolina governor Henry McMaster is tasked with appointing a new senator to serve out the remainder of Graham\u2019s term, which ends on 3 January. The appointment is expected to be announced in a matter of days.<\/p>\n Whoever is chosen will likely have a leg up in a special primary election on 11 August to fill Graham\u2019s place on the November ballot, which he won despite facing five challengers from his party in June.<\/p>\n The candidate would still run against Democratic nominee Annie Andrews, a pediatrician who gained significant support in the red state, but still faces an uphill challenge.<\/p>\n It means that together with the ongoing absence of Mitch McConnell for unexplained health issues, Senate Republicans will have to navigate a majority that\u2019s down two members.<\/p>\n Read the full story here:<\/p>\n In other developments:<\/p>\n The Senate judiciary committee has scheduled two days of confirmation hearings for Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general Trump has nominated to the post, though it was unclear if the death of Graham, who served on the committee, will affect the schedule. <\/strong>The intelligence committee has separately announced that the confirmation of Clayton is back on.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Republicans in both chambers remain confounded by Trump\u2019s renewed fixation on the Save America Act, which would ban mail-in ballots and impose new rules on voting nationwide.<\/strong> The measure, a version of which was approved by the House of Representatives earlier this year almost entirely with Republican votes, has no path through the Senate, where it faces opposition from Democrats and some in the GOP.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Ro Khanna accused the Israeli government and military of \u201clying\u201d on Sunday about the US congressman\u2019s detention by armed settlers and Israeli soldiers during a recent visit to the Israeli-occupied West Bank.<\/strong> Khanna \u2013 a California Democrat \u2013 had posted video evidence on social media of Israeli settlers and soldiers blocking the path of his convoy on Wednesday in the South Hebron hills, near the village of Zanuta, where Israelis have driven Palestinians from their homes in what Amnesty International calls<\/a> a government-backed \u201cethnic cleansing campaign\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Share<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Person allegedly killed during ICE operation in Maine One person was reportedly shot and killed during an ICE operation in Biddeford, Maine, according to the state\u2019s speaker of the house, Ryan Fecteau. \u201cThis morning a shooting occurred in Biddeford.
