After a federal immigration officer fatally shot a man in Maine this week, the state\u2019s major Democratic Senate candidates have embraced a once-fringe position: abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>

The leftward shift shows how the contenders, competing in a fast-paced contest to replace Graham Platner as the nominee, are adopting the spirit of his aggressive campaign, which electrified Maine Democrats before he dropped out because of a sexual assault allegation, which he denied.<\/p>\n

The candidates are presenting themselves as fighters in Platner\u2019s mold in their responses to the shooting. And they are invoking the death in their case for ousting longtime Sen. Susan Collins (R), criticizing her previous votes funding ICE and inability to rein in President Donald Trump\u2019s immigration crackdown.<\/p>\n

An ICE officer fatally shot<\/a> 25-year-old Johan Sebasti\u00e1n Dur\u00e1n Guerrero in the small city of Biddeford in an operation in which he was not the intended target, according to Sen. Angus King (I-Maine).<\/p>\n

Several front-runners in the race, including Nirav Shah, Troy Jackson and Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, rushed<\/a> to Biddeford to join an anti-ICE rally hours after the shooting.<\/p>\n

Jackson, a favorite of liberal Platner supporters, marched<\/a> to Collins\u2019s office afterward. Shah, who is pivoting to the left after being perceived as moderate during his unsuccessful gubernatorial campaign, raised money<\/a> for a mutual aid group for immigrants and named abolishing ICE when asked in a debate for Platner\u2019s best idea. Bellows and Jordan Wood, an unsuccessful congressional candidate, attended a vigil for Dur\u00e1n Guerrero.<\/p>\n

Asked in a Thursday debate<\/a> how they would reform ICE, the leading candidates also described it as an agency beyond saving. <\/b>Some of the candidates called for abolishing ICE for the first time after the shooting, including Shah, the former director of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and Maine Beer Company co-founder Dan Kleban.<\/p>\n

Shah, the candidate who has posted the most about the shooting on social media, described ICE in an interview as a \u201crogue agency\u201d and said he has long supported abolishing it, although he hasn\u2019t shared that view publicly. He said his identity as the son of immigrants from India drives him to be more aggressive on the issue.<\/p>\n

Democrats will pick their Senate candidate at July 25 nominating convention featuring 601 voting delegates. After Platner decisively won the primary, the contenders to succeed him have sought to distance themselves from him as a scandal-tainted candidate while echoing his style and populist platform, including a call to abolish ICE.<\/p>\n

With few differences among their immigration agendas, the Democratic Senate hopefuls are instead distinguishing themselves in how they carry their message and attack Collins on the issue.<\/p>\n

At a rally in Scarborough the day after the shooting, Jackson vowed he would deliver on abolishing the immigration agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to do something to get rid of ICE,\u201d said Jackson, a former state Senate president and the closest ideological successor to Platner. \u201cWe\u2019re going to do something to get rid of the people that support them.\u201d<\/p>\n

At a Tuesday vigil in Lewiston, Bellows, who like Jackson ran as a liberal in the gubernatorial primary, touted her past opposition to ICE even as a few hecklers criticized her for mispronouncing \u201cJohan\u201d and focusing too heavily on her campaign. She organized to try to stop ICE\u2019s creation in the early 2000s, she said, and in January denied a government request for immigration officers to use undercover license plates.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember a day when the thugs weren\u2019t in the government and they didn\u2019t have arms,\u201d Bellows said about ICE in the debate.<\/p>\n

While Bellows has called for ICE\u2019s abolition, she tends to avoid the phrase \u201cabolish ICE,\u201d instead often saying \u201cICE out.\u201d She posted on X<\/a> after the shooting, \u201cIt\u2019s time to get ICE off our streets.\u201d<\/p>

Kleban, one of the candidates perceived to be more moderate, first called for the agency\u2019s abolition on Tuesday, though on Monday<\/a> and earlier in the year<\/a> he\u2019d said it should be reformed and held accountable. He said that the shooting convinced him ICE is \u201cbeyond redemption\u201d but stressed that the United States needs \u201ca real law enforcement agency\u201d to patrol the border and enforce immigration laws. work as border patrol and immigration enforcement agents.<\/p>\n

Collins has defended ICE.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that Democrats who are desperate to be appointed to run for the Senate are using a tragedy to further their political aspirations,\u201d Collins said in a statement to The Washington Post. \u201cAbolishing ICE would make America less safe. Anyone calling for abolishing ICE is calling for the agency to cease critical efforts to combat human trafficking, child exploitation, forced labor and international drug smuggling.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbolish ICE\u201d was once a rallying cry for liberal activists during the first Trump administration, but many Democratic officeholders and candidates were reluctant to go that far and alienate moderate voters.<\/p>\n

Many Democratic Party strategists have worried the perception that the party is too lax on immigration helped Trump win the 2024 presidential race and could haunt the party<\/a> in future elections, with the slogan \u201cAbolish ICE\u201d drawing particular scrutiny.<\/p>\n

But former Democratic Rep. Steve Israel, who once led the House Democrats\u2019 campaign arm and has been critical of the slogan, said that it\u2019s \u201cunderstandable\u201d for the candidates to call for the agency\u2019s abolition after the shooting. The eventual nominee might moderate their stance to appeal to a general election audience after the primary, and the election will likely be a referendum on Trump and the economy rather than focusing on the nominee\u2019s statements on immigration, he said.<\/p>\n

The abolitionist stance has again gained popularity because of widespread criticism of federal immigration enforcement tactics during Trump\u2019s second term, including the killings of U.S. citizens Ren\u00e9e Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

Shah said the position would not hurt Democrats in a general election against Collins.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is something that right now Americans are coming around to,\u201d he said. \u201cI ask folks to think about the following question: How many more people on American soil must be gunned down at the hands of rogue federal agents like ICE before we all agree that it is time to abolish ICE?\u201d<\/p>\n

After the shooting, Collins called in a social media post for a \u201cfull and impartial investigation of what happened.\u201d The following day, she said that she urged Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to \u201ccease all non-urgent vehicle stops\u201d \u2014 such as that which led to Monday\u2019s shooting.<\/p>\n

Though most vehicle stops were temporarily paused, the Department of Homeland Security reversed its decision Wednesday after Trump defended traffic stops as one of the \u201cmost important and effective Crime Fighting tools\u201d in a post<\/a> on Truth Social.<\/p>\n

Collins, who has cultivated a moderate image, chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee overseeing government spending and voted with Republicans this year to give ICE and Customs and Border Protection $70 billion in new funding. She had previously pushed to include funding for body cameras and de-escalation training.<\/p>\n

To Democrats seeking to face Collins, her legislative record funding ICE is an electoral liability.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s the chairwoman of the Appropriations Committee, and she likes to tell people that quite often \u2014 but what\u2019s the point \u2026 if you\u2019re not going to use that power?\u201d Kleban said in an interview. \u201cThey appropriated money again to ICE after the murder of Ren\u00e9e Good and Alex Pretti, with no condition. She\u2019s got to answer for that.\u201d<\/p>
