History

Historical Context

On Feb. 4 1999, NYPD officers fired 41 shots at unarmed Guinean Amadou Diallo, killing him and sparking protests that led to the Street Crime Unit’s 2002 disbandment and federal consent-decree reforms. The recent ICE shooting of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford echoes that legacy, prompting DHS, Maine officials and the ACLU to demand similar oversight of immigration enforcement.
