Report: ICE officer who killed man in Maine had history of hatred

UPI reports that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot and killed a man in Maine this summer had a history of anti-immigrant hostility shown in multiple emails. The New York Times reported that David Brouillette, the rookie officer who fatally shot Johan Sebastian Guerrero, a Colombian, during a stop in Biddeford, Maine, had a documented history of "deep-seated anti-immigrant hatred, especially against Colombians."

"Earlier reports have documented Brouillette's history of domestic violence and abuse complaints, and workplace issues. In the new report, The Times reported parts of an email thread from 2021 in which Brouillette criticized his sister and other relatives for her long-term relationship with a Colombian man – a graduate student studying for a doctorate in education who was in the United States legally."

In litigation over ICE roving patrols in Los Angeles, emails were disclosed of ICE officers using racial epithets in referring to suspected migrants.
