Summary
Tom Homan said the Trump administration is reviewing ICE hiring vetting after the July 13 fatal shooting of 25-year-old Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine.
Ashley Brouillette told The Washington Post her ex-husband David Brouillette said he was the officer who shot Durán and had a history of violent outbursts, prompting an internal affairs review of whether warning signs were missed.
ICE is also reassessing agent training and adding more instruction as DHS investigates the shooting, while the agency still has not publicly identified the officer involved.
Durán held a Trump-issued work permit and, according to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, was not the target of the operation; ICE says officers tried to stop his vehicle during surveillance tied to another person with a final removal order.
The shooting has triggered mass protests in Maine, and Senator Angus King said none of the officers at the scene were wearing body cameras.
