Jan 21, 2026Biddeford, MEEcuador
Cristian Vaca, a 28-year-old roofer from Ecuador who moved to Biddeford, Maine in September 2023, said ICE agents repeatedly threatened him and his family outside his home on Wednesday. Vaca, who has a Social Security number, a work permit, and pays income taxes, said he was sitting on his couch when he noticed agents photographing him outside. A video he recorded shows an ICE agent telling him through his closed front door, "We're going to come back for your whole family, OK?" while a child's voice can be heard in the background. Vaca lives with his wife and young son.
