He was just a man driving a van, going to work, and doing the kind of job this country depends on the kind of job that I used to do growing up in construction. Just days later In Bidford, Maine, ICE agents shot and killed Sebastian Guerrero. He was only 26 authorized to work in this country. He had a Social Security number. He wasn't even the target of any warrant whatsoever. Two men just working hard and living their lives and speaking Spanish. Think about that. Two men that were killed for being Latino men, for doing what Latino men do. (03:17–03:32)
