Summary
President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, made a remarkable admission Sunday regarding David Brouillette, the ICE agent identified as having fatally shot Colombian man Johan Sebastián Guerrero earlier this month, The Guardian reported.Five days after the fatal shooting, The Washington Post revealed through court filings allegations of violent abuse leveled against Brouillette. One of his ex-wives accused him of once throwing boiling water on her while she was holding their young daughter, and in another instance, pointing a gun at her while she was in the shower.Given Brouillette’s alleged violent past, CNN’s Dana Bash asked Homan whether someone “with those issues” was qualified to be an ICE agent.“No, if those … are facts … I don’t think he should ever have cleared vetting,” Homan admitted, according to The Guardian.Homan also said that part of an ongoing probe into the fatal shooting involved determining how “the vetting process [failed].”Guerrero was fatally shot in Maine during a traffic stop by Brouillette on July 13. Guerrero was one of two people killed by ICE in the past week during traffic stops, leading ICE to suspend all traffic stops, though President Donald Trump called for the policy change to be reversed the next day.Lucinda Brouillette, one of Brouillette’s ex-wives, issued her former husband a brutal condemnation in the wake of Guerrero’s killing.“If you were to ask me whether I believe David Brouillette is capable of this level of extreme violence, my answer is unequivocally yes,” she said in the statement. “That belief is not based on speculation, but on my own lived experiences over many years.”
