Three immigrants die in separate ICE incidents across Maine, Georgia and Florida within 24 hours

Within a single day, ICE actions resulted in the deaths of Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine, Jesús Manuel Arenas-Silva in Georgia, and Juan Jairo Coronilla Durán in Florida.

A series of ICE-related incidents claimed three lives in three states over a 24-hour period. In Biddeford, Maine, officer David Brouillette fired at Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, 25, after a vehicle stop, resulting in his death. In Georgia, detainee Jesús Manuel Arenas-Silva, 45, suffered a medical emergency during a bus transfer and was pronounced dead at a hospital.

In St Augustine, Florida, Juan Jairo Coronilla Durán, 28, ran from ICE agents at a highway-side convenience store, fell onto the roadway and was hit by a semitruck. The Maine attorney general’s office, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and the Florida Highway Patrol are all conducting investigations, while DHS has issued statements on each incident.

Why it matters

The deaths highlight growing concerns over ICE enforcement tactics and accountability across the United States.
