Democratic lawmakers are pressing for a review of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) hiring practices and continuing calls for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the killing of an immigrant in Maine by one of the agency’s officers after news media reported allegations of past violent and threatening behavior by the officer, according to his family members.

The Associated Press, the Portland Press Herald and National Public Radio (NPR) all identified the officer in question as David Brouillette, information that the publications attributed to his family. The outlets also reported allegations that Brouillette had a history of mental health issues and had purportedly subjected his ex-wife to violent, threatening behavior.

Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi congressman and the top Democrat on the US House’s homeland security committee, told the AP in a statement that the officer’s alleged violent history “directly call[s] into question the supposed vetting and training ICE does of its recruits”.

The goons hired by the Trump administration for ICE or DHS etc etc... are even screening and hunting down europeans who arrive at JKF and some are abusively being detained in the airport on falacious and absurd suspicions. America is for nore not the place to visit even for decent people from all over the world. Just when you see all the fuss and harassment they start even before you board the plane in any international airport in Europe...no way I am going to give them me pennies. Sorry.
