About the ICE List

The ICE List Wiki is a public, verifiable record of immigration enforcement activity in the United States.

It documents incidents, agencies, individuals, facilities, vehicles, and legal authorities involved in enforcement operations. Entries are structured, sourced, and timestamped to support verification, cross-referencing, and long-term analysis. The wiki is intended for use by journalists, researchers, advocates, and the general public.

This project was created by Crust News.

Project status: This wiki is in active development. Structure, navigation, and data standards are being finalised. Older pages may be reformatted as standards are applied consistently.

Killing of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine 2026-07-13 • Biddeford, Maine (Pool Street / Hill Street)

Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a 26-year-old man originally from Colombia, was shot and killed on the morning of 13 July 2026 during a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in Biddeford, Maine. Senator Angus King said Guerrero was not the operation's target; his wife and young daughter were at the scene, and the agents wore no body cameras. It is at least the 11th fatal shooting involving ICE or Border Patrol agents this administration; the FBI is expected to investigate.

Israeli strikes kill 11 in southern Lebanon as attacks intensify

It was deadliest Israeli attack in Lebanon since agreements reached in June led to a significant reduction in hostilities.

Israeli air strikes have killed at least 11 people and wounded 19 in southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, amid intensified attacks across several towns and villages overnight.

Early morning attacks on Saturday struck Ansar and Deir ez-Zahrani in Nabatieh district. In Ansar, seven were killed, including three children, and two were wounded. The attack in Deir ez-Zahrani killed four and wounded 17.

Hezbollah issued a statement urging the Lebanese government to abandon what it calls “humiliating” direct negotiations and to stop relying on US mediation, saying that Washington backs Israel’s interests over Lebanon’s sovereignty.

The group also warned that the Israeli attacks would be met with an “appropriate response”.

“The Israeli enemy must understand well that its assaults, its transgressions, and its attempts to impose a fait accompli cannot continue, and will be met with what they deserve,” the statement said.

Lebanon’s parliament speaker Nabih Berri, meanwhile, called the Israeli attacks a “massacre” and said they represented the continuation of a “war aimed at extermination” in southern Lebanon.

Al Jazeera’s Ali Hashem, reporting from Ansar, said children and members of one family were among those killed.

“This is an area seen by people as safe, but an air attack has now hit,” Hashem said, adding that the attack had increased fear among residents as Israeli strikes and demolitions continued across southern Lebanon.

The Israeli military said it had struck what it described as Hezbollah infrastructure in the areas of Nabatieh and Ansar, saying the attacks came in response to an action against Israeli soldiers at the Ali al-Taher Ridge.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam rejected Israel’s account, calling the escalation “extremely dangerous” and saying it was undermining efforts to consolidate stability in southern Lebanon.

He said responsibility for dealing with any military infrastructure on Lebanese territory, “if it exists”, rests exclusively with the Lebanese state, through the army and other state institutions.

“Its presence does not give Israel the right to violate Lebanese territory or put civilians at risk,” Salam said, calling on Israel to halt the escalation.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun also condemned the continuing Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon, particularly in Nabatieh and surrounding areas, saying they constituted repeated violations of the framework agreement, the work of the military coordination group and international laws protecting civilians.

Aoun said the attacks sent “a clear message” about the negotiating process and US efforts to implement the agreement.

Strikes across southern Lebanon

The National News Agency (NNA) said Israeli attacks intensified early on Saturday, with a series of air strikes on the Ali al-Taher Ridge near Nabatieh al-Fawqa.

Two other strikes hit areas near the teachers’ training centre and the Husseini club in Nabatieh al-Fawqa, while the valley between Ansar and Zarariyeh was also attacked in what NNA described as the first strike to reach this far into southern Lebanon since the ceasefire two months ago.

Closer to the border, Israeli forces destroyed several homes in Bint Jbeil and opened heavy machinegun fire towards houses along the Kounine-Saf al-Hawa road, the agency reported.

An Israeli air attack also hit the al-Mashaa neighbourhood in al-Mansouri shortly before midnight.
Al Jazeera’s Hashem said Israeli demolitions had also continued in border areas, with some villages suffering extensive destruction, including damage to graveyards and historic sites.

“This is escalating day by day,” he said, adding that diplomatic efforts had yet to produce results on the ground.

Violence has decreased since a United States-Iran memorandum of understanding in June and a subsequent US-sponsored framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel, but Israeli attacks and demolitions have continued in the south.

The framework calls for Hezbollah’s disarmament, the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces and the deployment of the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon.

On Friday, Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem criticised the Lebanese authorities over the implementation of the framework, accusing them of pressuring the army while Israeli attacks continued.

“How can you accept this ongoing humiliation of the Lebanese army, exposing it to bombardment and Israeli pressures, instead of acting as its protectors?” he said.

On Thursday, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said Israel would not withdraw unless Hezbollah was disarmed and what he called the “threat” posed by the group was removed.

Katz said Israeli forces currently control about 700 square kilometres (270sq miles) of Lebanese territory, or roughly 7 percent of the country.

The Ansar attack was the deadliest reported Israeli strike in Lebanon since agreements reached in June led to a significant reduction in hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.


 

Trump threatens to declare strait of Hormuz ‘territory of the United States’

 

Trump threatens to declare strait of Hormuz ‘territory of the United States’

Trump threatens to declare strait of Hormuz ‘territory of the United States’

Seriousness of remark made in New York on Friday, and whether it signaled new policy ​position, not clear

Donald Trump has threatened to declare the strait of Hormuz as “a territory of the United States” as his administration struggles to conclude the war with Iran.

During a speech at a police academy on Long Island, New York, on Friday, the US president said he would “pretty soon” designate the waterway – a crucial chokepoint for global trade, through which about a fifth of the world’s seaborne oil supplies typically pass – a US territory.

The comment came as peace talks with Iran remain at an impasse following failed negotiations, with Tehran refusing to reopen the strait, which has been all but closed since the US and Israel launched their war on Iran in February.

Almost six months into the war, there is little indication that negotiations will soon yield peace, as Iranian officials continue to defy Trump’s demands. The US has been blockading Iranian shipping and ⁠ports in recent months in an effort to pile economic pressure on Tehran.

“After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated, pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz strait a territory of the United States,” Trump said on Friday. “Essentially, that’s what it is. We have the blockade. No ships get through unless we want them to.”

The seriousness of Trump’s remark, and whether it signaled a new policy ​position for his administration, was not immediately clear.

Responding on X, formerly Twitter, Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister, said Tehran would not ⁠be intimidated by threats, ​or ‌a show ‌of force, by ‌the US – and added that the strait of Hormuz ​would only ​be opened, ​or ‌closed, under Iran’s ​authority.

In an interview published on Saturday, Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araqchi said that Iran had not ⁠decided to resume talks ⁠with the US, ​and messages being exchanged via ⁠Qatar and Pakistan did not amount ⁠to negotiations, Reuters reported.

Araqchi told Iranian news outlet Shahrara News that separate talks ‌with Oman were focused on defining ​a sea route through the strait of Hormuz, while ⁠the US ​would ​have to meet ​conditions for shipping ​to ‌resume ​through ​the waterway.

Earlier this week, Trump claimed that the US had “total control” over the strait and said “I think we will keep it” on Truth Social, despite the waterway being an internationally navigable strait bordered by Iran and Oman.

Fuel prices have risen sharply since the start of the war, forcing working Americans to pay significantly more at the pump.

Nevertheless, on Friday, Trump said that Americans who have had to “pay a tiny little bit more for your gasoline” should remember that they are “doing it so that a very evil country cannot have a – really, it’s the No 1 state sponsor of terror in the world – we don’t want them to have a nuclear weapon.

“When you have to pay a little bit more, you’re at $4, it’s OK, I mean, it’s not. I’ll never apologize. I did the right thing,” he added.

Over the past six months, the Trump administration has repeatedly claimed victory in the war, saying Iran’s regime has been pleading for a deal.

Tehran has remained steadfast in its demands, saying as recently as last Saturday that it will not reopen the strait of Hormuz unless the US “corrects its behavior”, “completely compensate[s]” Iran for war damage, lifts sanctions and “unconditionally” releases frozen assets.

At this dangerous time

We hope you appreciated this article. Before you close this tab, we want to ask if you could support the Guardian at this dangerous time for journalism in the US.

According to a leading global watchdog, American democracy is now more imperiled than at any point since the 1960s, marked by a precipitous decline in press freedom – driven by mounting pressure from the Trump administration in the form of threats, criminal investigations, politicized regulation, frivolous lawsuits and, for public media, catastrophic funding cuts. 

Meanwhile, organizations that are supposed to be independent like the FBI and the FCC, our radio and television regulator, have also been targeting press freedom under Trump-aligned leadership, with the FBI raiding a reporter’s home and the FCC threatening ABC’s TV licenses after Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about Melania Trump.

The response from some ultra-wealthy and corporate media owners, keen to appease the president, has been chilling: CBS News has been taken over by a Trump ally; CNN may be taken over by the same billionaire; Jeff Bezos has continued to impose cuts and editorial interventions at the Washington Post; and multiple outlets have settled multimillion-dollar lawsuits from the administration to protect their business interests.

Democracy is best served by a robust, thriving free press. But when that freedom is under attack, it falls to a determined few news organizations to ensure the full truth still reaches the public. Owned neither by a billionaire nor a corporation, the Guardian remains dedicated to covering this administration with uncompromising moral and factual clarity – and to keeping trustworthy journalism paywall-free for the world.

Despite the risks of maintaining our fierce independence, what sustains us – and fills us with deep gratitude – is the unwavering support we’ve seen from readers. It is no exaggeration to say that we are here because of people like you: a majority of our funding comes directly from readers responding to messages like this. Your support not only powers our work, but more importantly, it safeguards the financial independence that underpins our editorial freedom and courage.

We know our requests for support are not as welcome as our reporting, but without them, it’s simple: our reporting wouldn’t exist. Of course, we understand that some readers are not in a position to support us, and if that is you, we value your readership no less.

But if you are able, please support our summer fundraising campaign today. We’re especially grateful for anyone able to set up a monthly contribution: reliable funding is vital for sustaining us throughout this dangerous period, right to its end (and among the great benefits, we’ll show you far fewer fundraising requests like this). It takes just 37 seconds to give. Thank you for protecting the free press.
