Politiek · ICE officer training file · ArchiefLawmakers Demand ICE Officer's Training File After Fatal Maine ShootingGeschreven 7 september 2026 om 21:22 UTCKijkenTranscript0:00Democratic lawmakers are pressing the0:01Department of Homeland Security for the0:03training and vetting file of the ICE0:05officer who shot a man in Biddeford,0:07Maine last month. Representative Robert0:09Garcia and Senator Richard Blumenthal0:11sent a letter to officials overseeing0:13the training program demanding to know0:15whether officer David Brillet completed0:17a shortened and expedited curriculum and0:20what background checks he passed. The0:22shooting happened July 13th. Johan0:24Sebastian Duran Guerrero was fatally0:27shot behind the wheel of a car. The0:28Associated Press identified the officer0:31involved as David Brillet. Garcia and0:33Blumenthal's letter raises the central0:35question of whether officer preparation0:36was compromised by the drive to rapidly0:38expand deportations. Last year the Trump0:41administration shortened the ICE0:42training curriculum specifically to0:44accelerate hiring. Now the agency aims0:46to onboard an additional 10,000 agents0:48through funding from a major legislative0:50package. Lawmakers want records that0:52could show whether that pressure played0:53any role in the deadly encounter in0:55Maine.Lees het artikelTijdlijn van het verhaalHeyDexDe korte video ↗
