An ICE agent has fatally shot a Colombian national during an immigration enforcement operation in the US state of Maine, the BBC<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n

The ICE said agents were watching an address for a person with a final order of removal in Biddeford at around 07:00 EDT (11:00 GMT) on Monday.<\/p>\n

ICE did not share details on why the officer feared for safety. The agent has been placed on leave pending an investigation.<\/p>\n
