This has not happened since a friendly in 2005, but the long arc going back 60 years to 1966 is really where this rivalry begins. And honestly, that first match changed the way soccer has been played.

Hey, everybody, and welcome to Here's the Scoop from NBC News. I'm Yasmin Vasugan. So one of the world's greatest sports rivalries is having a rematch. We're going to explain what is at stake in the Argentina-England semifinals on Wednesday. Plus, we have 12 states suing to block the Paramount and Warner Brothers merger from coming to a theater near you. We're going to hear why California's attorney general thinks the merger could hurt you. Up first, though.

Get ICE out!
Yasmin Vasugan 0:50
Get ICE out! Protests are growing in Maine after ICE agents shot and killed a Colombian man on Monday. And there are a lot of questions about this incident. So I want to get right to NBC News Senior Homeland Security Correspondent Julia Ainsley. Hi, Julia. Hey, thanks for having me. Good to have you. So what do we know about this incident according to your reporting and any accounts that we have heard from folks that observed what happened? Well, as we now understand from Telemundo and from people who we've spoken to at the Colombian consulate, this man is a 26-year-old Colombian father named Joan Sebastian Guerrera. ICE officers had the address and description of a target they were looking for. They arrive at the residence that they're targeting, where they believe this address has been tied to their target, around 7 a.m.

Monday morning in Biddeford, Maine. And they see a vehicle leaving that address. And the officers thought that the man driving the vehicle matched the description of the target. We now understand that was not the correct person that they were to be looking for. All we know is, and we can see in the video, a small white car driven by this man, Guerrero, that appears to be going rather slowly, almost making a U-turn while there's a larger white vehicle nearby that we believe was operated by ICE officers. Then we see a man holding on to the door of this vehicle as it's driving away, and he fires a shot. He's on the side of the vehicle. He's not in front of it, as we would have seen, like, in Rene Nicole Goodstead, the Minneapolis when the ICE officer was at the corner of the vehicle.
Yasmin Vasugan 2:22
There's a question about whether or not his life might have been at risk. This man is holding onto the driver's side handle the whole time before he fires the shots. Then he pulls Guerrero out of the car. And that is where he dies. What might sound, unfortunately, typical about that is an ICE officer once again using his or her gun to stop someone who they're trying to arrest while they're driving a car. What's not typical has been their response. It took 12 hours for DHS to get out a statement. They did not say that this officer fired in self-defense. They just said that he was fearing for his life and fired off a gunshot. They did not say that this man was using his vehicle as a weapon. They just said that he tried to flee the scene.
Yasmin Vasugan 3:05
Those were kind of key differences where usually ICE has run to the side and the defense of their officers in every one of these situations. And then another thing just happened that really changes, I think, the calculus and how this administration and this DHS and ICE are responding to this incident. And they have put a pause on all vehicle stops. And someone I spoke to said it is so that they can evaluate and decide whether or not ICE officers need more training and how they do vehicle stops so that they, because of the negative outcome of these incidents. And so they're talking about this and another fatal shooting involving a man driving a vehicle in Houston just last week. These incidents happened within six days of each other.
Yasmin Vasugan 3:50
So not only are we witnessing something tragic happen, we're actually witnessing a course correction for ICE, which under this administration is kind of rare.

What happened in the Biddeford, Maine ICE shooting and who was involved?

Yasmin Vasugan 3:59
And to be clear, the ICE officer that pulled the trigger on this individual, that ICE officer is where?
