Democratic candidates competing to replace Graham Platner as the party's Senate nominee in Maine have called for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to be abolished, following a shooting involving the agency in Biddeford, Maine. Candidate Nirav Shah told Fox News Digital that "ICE needs to be abolished" in the wake of Monday's incident, aligning himself with the more radical immigration stance that had defined Platner's own campaign before it collapsed amid scandal.

Shah, a leading contender for the nomination, said his campaign shared "a lot of similarities" with the approach Platner had taken before dropping out of the race. The report does not provide further detail on the Biddeford shooting itself or on the positions of other Democratic candidates vying for the seat, but frames the "abolish ICE" stance as a notable continuation of the more left-leaning rhetoric seen earlier in the Maine Senate race.
