Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is facing heated protests for her support of a policy that critics say led to a wrongful death on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cProtestors descended on Sen. Susan Collins\u2019 Biddeford office Monday following a deadly shooting that authorities said involved federal immigration agents,\u201d reported Portland Press Herald’s Rachel Ohm on Monday. \u201cDozens of people crowded the entryway of the Main St. office Monday afternoon shouting \u2018Vote her out!\u2019 On the street, others carried signs reading, \u2018NO ICE\u2019 and \u2018Melt ICE.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

On Monday morning, a 26-year-old man from Colombia was killed by ICE agents at a shooting in the Maine community of Biddleford. Collins is being held partially responsible for his death because the five-term incumbent voted in June to support a $70 billion funding bill for Border Patrol and ICE agents.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe protest outside Collins\u2019 office was part of a larger demonstration about the shooting,\u201d Ohm reported. \u201cAround noon, about two dozen protestors marched into Collins\u2019 office, but were shooed out minutes later as police arrived.\u201d They reported shouted accusations such as saying Collins was at fault for the shooting and that the officers blocking the protesters were fascists.<\/p>\n

Collins has in general been the focus of much criticism for her attempts to depict herself as a moderate while working in lockstep with much of the Trump administration\u2019s agenda. Last month civil rights attorney Azaleea Carlea wrote in the Portland Press Herald about Collins vouching for future Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh that \u201cMainers cannot and will not forget Sen. Susan Collins\u2019 critical role in dismantling the nearly half-century-old constitutional right, causing cruelty and chaos to ensue. Either she was foolish or a hypocritical [sic]. Either way, she is not fit to serve another term in the U.S. Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Similarly, Collins was harshly criticized in June for saying she had not read the roughly two-page memorandum of understanding that Trump was touting as having ended his ongoing war against Iran. Collins serves on the Senate Intelligence Committee and yet insisted she had \u201cnot yet had a chance to read it.” The X account Collins Watch, which regularly criticizes the senator, wrote that \u201cyou can’t just wait for the elevator doors to close when you get an uncomfortable question in the middle of a town hall…which is probably why Susan Collins hasn’t held one since the 1990s.”<\/p>\n

Collins is also harshly criticized for relying heavily on billionaires in her reelection big. At least 79 billionaires donated to Collins\u2019 fundraising network between January 2025 and May 20, 2026, a number that rises to 97 if one includes billionaires\u2019 spouses as well. Overall they had donated $9.8 million to Collins\u2019 campaign overall since 2025, comprising roughly one-third of what groups supporting Collins have raised from all donors.<\/p>\n
