Trump’s border czar says vetting of ICE officer is under internal review after Maine shooting

Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

White House border czar Tom Homan said ICE is internally reviewing how officer David Brouillette cleared vetting before he fatally shot 26-year-old Colombian national Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine, on July 13. Homan told CNN that, if allegations from Brouillette’s relatives and ex-wives about serious mental-health struggles and violent behavior are true, he should not have passed the agency’s screening. ICE briefly halted vehicle stops nationwide after fatal shootings in Maine and Texas, but President Donald Trump reversed the pause roughly a day later.
