KILLINGS BY IMMIGRATION AGENTS UNDER SCRUTINY
Pingree wants details on officers’ training, body cameras and ICE vetting after the fatal Biddeford shooting, citing 12,000 hires in less than a year.
- On Friday, U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin demanding answers about the fatal shooting of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford on Monday.
- The Portland Press Herald reported Thursday that the officer who killed Guerrero was David Brouillette, whose ex-wife previously reported concerns about his mental health and described abusive behavior during their marriage.
- An investigation by the Associated Press earlier this year found a hiring spree at ICE led to employees with questionable histories who were either not fully vetted or hired despite their past.
- Pingree expects a response by July 24 and requested briefings on agent training, body camera usage, and the administrative review status of the shooting.
- DHS did not immediately respond to the letter Friday afternoon; Pingree warned that if the Department ignores systemic failures, public trust will be lost and immigration enforcement must fundamentally change.
