Homan Says ICE Officer in 13 July Maine Killing Should Not Have Passed Vetting

Summary
Tom Homan said the ICE officer tied to the 13 July shooting death of 25-year-old Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine likely should never have cleared vetting if abuse allegations against him are true.
An administrative review is now examining whether ICE had access to that history, whether it was missed, and how the agency’s screening process may have failed.
David Brouillette has been identified by news outlets as the officer involved, though DHS has not confirmed it; two ex-wives have since publicly alleged a pattern of abuse, intimidation and control.
The case has intensified scrutiny of ICE hiring and oversight, with Democrats including Bennie Thompson demanding reviews of vetting and training.
Two July ICE shootings — in Maine and Texas — also produced no body-camera footage, prompting Homan to require cameras during vehicle stops.
