Multiple ex-wives of ICE agent in deadly Maine shooting speak out about his violent past

Key Points:

• Ashley Brouillette, ex-wife of ICE agent David Brouillette accused of fatally shooting Colombian immigrant Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, claims ICE failed to conduct proper background checks by not contacting her before hiring him.
• Both Ashley and David’s second wife, Lucinda Brouillette, have described a history of violent and abusive behavior, with Lucinda seeking a protective order and sole custody of their daughter due to his aggression.
• David Brouillette, a former military serviceman with a history of mental health issues, was hired amid ICE’s rapid expansion and lowered hiring standards under the Trump administration, which has led to concerns about vetting processes.
• The shooting occurred during a traffic stop in Biddeford, Maine, where Durán Guerrero, legally in the U.S., was not the intended target; ICE defended the agent’s use of force citing public safety concerns.
• Ashley Brouillette urges others to speak out about dangerous individuals, expressing regret that her warnings about David’s temperament were not heeded, emphasizing that the tragedy could have been prevented.
