ICE vetting ‘under review’ after fatal shootings, says border czar Homan
Tom Homan said ICE vetting is under review after lawmakers raised concerns over 56 excessive-force complaints and two fatal shootings this month.
- On Sunday, White House Border Czar Tom Homan announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement's vetting process is under review following fatal shootings by ICE agents in Texas and Maine this month.
- The review follows the July 13 fatal shooting of 25-year-old Colombian national Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine by agent David Brouillette, whom court documents reveal was previously accused of abuse by two ex-wives.
- During a CNN interview on Sunday, Homan admitted to host Dana Bash that he was not tracking the agents' status, stating, "I haven't specifically tracked these cases."
- Brouillette is in protective custody while the agency conducts an administrative investigation into the vetting failure. Homan said, "If those are facts, I don't think he should ever have cleared vetting."
- These incidents emerge amid pressure to meet a goal of 3,000 daily immigration arrests set by White House official Stephen Miller, raising questions about whether aggressive quotas compromise agency vetting standards.
