I'm beginning to think that having a violent history & being racist are requirements to work at ICE
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/11/us/david-brouillette-ice-maine-shooting-anti-immigrant-hatred.html?unlocked_article_code=1.PlE.xtsB.aIu7rG0fYtma&smid=url-share David Brouillette, the rookie Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who fatally shot a Colombian migrant in Maine this summer, has a troubling work history, past complaints of domestic violence and abuse, as well as mental health issues.
...
“He can takes his non citizen ass back to his country and enjoy his third world luxuries,” Mr. Brouillette wrote in an email thread riddled with typos, a copy of which was shared with The New York Times.
“He does not emulate what it means to be an American” but “rather he emulates what it’s like to be entitled and think he has a seat” at a table “that has no room for his (or your ignorance),” he wrote. Mr. Brouillette continued that the man’s “bloodline knows nothing about what it takes to earn and then CHERISH the freedom America offers.”
The man who sparked Mr. Brouillette’s anger was at the time a 37-year-old graduate student studying for a Ph.D. in education. Born in Colombia, the man was living in the United States legally and had dated Mr. Brouillette’s sister for five years.
...
Mr. Brouillette’s family said he didn’t hide his sentiments about immigrants. Those views, along with publicly accessible court records documenting claims of abuse, mental health challenges and workplace struggles underscore concerns about the federal government’s hiring of Mr. Brouillette, who applied for a job with ICE as the agency relaxed its vetting process and added thousands of new officers.
“He is dangerous and should not have weapons,” Mr. Brouillette’s mother, Susan Bedard, said of her son in a text message to The Times. “Believe his victims, not him.”
