Troy Jackson, the Democratic US Senate<\/a> nominee for a critical seat in Maine<\/a>, denounced Vice President JD Vance<\/a> on Monday for downplaying the killing of Johan Sebasti\u00e1n Dur\u00e1n Guerrero, a 25-year-old Colombian national who was killed by a federal immigration<\/a> agent last month in Biddeford.<\/p>\n

During a visit to Maine on Monday, Vance told residents who are “so worried about that situation” to “have a little bit of perspective.” Vance added that “we can absolutely investigate every shooting and we will, but we can also secure our border and ensure that that poison stops coming into our country.” (The legal representative for Dur\u00e1n Guerrero’s family said<\/a> no federal agencies have reached out as part of any investigation into the killing.)<\/p>\n

Jackson, the former president of Maine’s Senate who is running to unseat Republican US Sen. Susan Collins<\/a>, responded to the vice president in a video message posted to social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“JD Vance is a dirtbag,” said Jackson. “There was a young man who had a Social Security<\/a> number, he had a job, I mean, he had a life. He had a family. To come here and say, ‘Have some perspective’? You ought to have some damn perspective. I mean, you don’t even know what the hell’s goin’ on. You got a rogue agency that’s going around, pulling people out of homes.”<\/p>\n

Jackson then turned his attention to Collins, who recently voted for legislation that included around $70 billion in funding for US immigration agencies, including nearly $40 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a> (ICE). After an ICE agent killed Dur\u00e1n Guerrero last month, Collins refused to say<\/a> she regretted her vote to boost the agency’s funding.<\/p>\n

“I want to know: What are you doing about it, Susan?” Jackson asked. “She gave them an additional $70 billion to pull this shit off. We lost a person that JD Vance seems to not give a shit about. And that should piss us all off. So I want to know: Do you agree with JD Vance dismissing the killing of this young man? Because I tell you what, ‘concerns’ and all that does nothing for all of us, does nothing for that family, and I’m sick of your ‘concerns.'”<\/p>\n

During his remarks in Brewer, Maine on Monday, Vance said Collins is “doing an amazing job” and characterized her as “the most independent member of the United States<\/a> Senate,” even though she votes with President Donald Trump<\/a> around 96% of the time.<\/p>\n

Misha Linnehan, a spokesperson for the Maine Democratic Party<\/a>, said in response to the vice president’s remarks that “Susan Collins voted to give Donald Trump<\/a> and JD Vance $70 billion to send armed ICE agents into Maine with no guardrails.”<\/p>\n

“Now that a man has been killed,” said Linnehan, “JD Vance thinks Mainers need to \u2018have a little bit of perspective\u2019 about children<\/a> losing their father and a wife losing her husband\u2014does Susan Collins agree?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
