ICE vetting ‘under review’ after fatal shootings, says border czar Homan
Tom Homan said the agency is adding body cameras and experienced agents as it reviews screening after at least five fatal incidents.
- 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.
