ICE officer in Maine shooting has history of violent behavior, family and records say
Federal officials say the officer fired after a vehicle tried to flee, as protests and calls for oversight followed the killing.
- On Monday, ICE officer David Brouillette shot and killed 25-year-old Colombian national Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero while Guerrero sat in his car near his Biddeford home. DHS stated the vehicle attempted to flee and an officer discharged his weapon fearing for public safety, though Guerrero was not the intended target.
- Brouillette's hiring occurred amid ICE's unprecedented expansion, adding 12,000 officers since January as part of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. He told ex-wife Ashley late last year he had been hired by ICE; she doubted him given his long history of psychiatric issues.
- Augusta District Court records document years of physical and verbal abuse allegations from his second ex-wife, including incidents where he tackled his teenage daughter and dragged her around the house. A 2021 temporary protective order cited PTSD and depression.
- ICE spokesperson Lauren Bis defended the officer's qualifications, stating he has "nearly a decade of federal law enforcement experience," while the Portland Regional Chamber of Commerce called immigrants "valued members of our community." Biddobanh restaurant raised over $490,000 for Guerrero's family by Thursday.
- An Associated Press investigation found applicants with questionable histories were either not fully vetted or hired despite their past. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced training would increase from 42 days to 72 days starting this month following cutting-corner allegations, though the DHS inspector general's audit findings remain unreleased.
