Nothing will bring a 25-year-old man from Colombia back to his family.
According to Sen. Angus King, the victim — who was murdered by ICE agents on Monday morning, July 13 — was not even the target of the warrant. But a little girl, wearing her Bluey pajamas at the scene of the tragedy, has lost her father forever.
With her vote, Sen. Susan Collins helped underwrite the funding of ICE and now has a clear responsibility and role to get untrained, trigger-happy agents off the streets of every town and city in this country. If she cannot make every effort to do that, she does not deserve to be a senator from the state of Maine.
