ICE officer linked to Maine shooting was deemed not credible in court last year

Sorry, I'm out of shareable links.

The U.S. immigration officer allegedly involved in the fatal shooting of an immigrant in Maine told a judge in October that he was struggling to earn money because he had health issues and his driver’s license had been revoked.

Maine District Court Judge Amy Dieterich declared a month later that David Brouillette’s claims were not credible, denying his request to terminate his child support payments to a former wife. Instead, she concluded, Brouillette was “voluntarily underemployed.”

State records show that Brouillette’s license was not revoked at the time of his court testimony, an official who represents Maine’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles told The Washington Post. Brouillette separately indicated in a divorce settlement that he was employed by a local police department in 2019, but that agency said it has no record of him working there.

Brouillette’s credibility could come under scrutiny as authorities investigate the July 13 shooting death of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero during an immigration enforcement action in Biddeford, Maine.

A Guatemalan couple’s attempt to reunite following an ICE deportation ended with the two being shot to death in a sugarcane field in the country.

BREAKING: An ICE agent POINTED A GUN at a U.S. citizen, through her car window, while threatening her, in Falls Church, Virginia.

And the excuse?

They claimed she “almost ran them over.”

Except… she had a dash cam recording the entire thing.

She immediately called their bullshit:

“You are so full of shit. I didn’t almost run anyone over.”

The agent tells her, “You aren’t funny.”

She responds, “You aren’t funny.”

Then he threatens her… “Keep it up, I will arrest you.” While he has his gun aimed inches away from her.

She says, “I’m a legal citizen, for what?”

And they keep threatening her with arrest.

Then, the agent repeats the accusation that she tried to run them over.

So, she tells him, “Run you over when? I have dash cam recording. That’s a lie.”

And suddenly… they WALK AWAY.

Because if she had actually tried to run federal agents over, why did they just leave after she called their bullshit, and said she had video proving them wrong?

And just to emphasize the seriousness of what happened…An ARMED federal agent had his GUN POINTED AT A WOMAN, through her car window, while threatening her with arrest.

Pointing a firearm at someone is an enormous use of force that should NEVER be treated casually… especially when the supposed justification is an accusation they apparently couldn’t… or wouldn’t… back up.

She wasn’t arrested.

They didn’t show her evidence that she committed a crime.

They just threatened her, pointed a gun at her, and repeatedly told her they would lock her up if she continued following them.

And the SECOND she says, “I have it on dash cam,” they WALK AWAY.Because apparently the threat disappears when there’s a camera that can prove what actually happened.

This is exactly why people need to DOCUMENT these encounters.

Because when armed federal agents can point guns at citizens, and make accusations with seemingly no consequences, the public needs cameras.

And when they threaten you for asking, “For what?” keep recording.

More sad, disgusting news about ICE. The linked article can be read by anyone.

The case represents a new front in President Trump’s mass deportation drive: arrests at airports of people who have active immigration cases and no criminal history.

Brent Jindra, a tech salesman, voted for President Trump three times, drawn by his aggressive immigration agenda. He never imagined the crackdown would ensnare his own wife.

Last month, moments after the couple got off their flight in Burbank, Calif., a young man in a brown hooded sweatshirt stopped Galina Bobreneva.

“Congratulations, you’ve been chosen for secondary screening,” he told her, according to the couple’s recollection.

The man was a federal agent, and after questioning Ms. Bobreneva for about 15 minutes, he led her away in handcuffs to an unmarked vehicle.

“I’m only doing my job,” he said. “Everything will be OK.”

So began a 16-day ordeal: a night on the floor of a basement holding cell in downtown Los Angeles; two weeks in a Mojave Desert detention center and a frantic legal effort to win her release.

Freed on a $35,000 bond with an electronic monitor clamped to her ankle, she is now fighting to stay in the United States against federal charges of overstaying her visa.

Ms. Bobreneva, who is from Russia, has a pending green card application, and her lawyer asserts that she was never out of lawful status.

Her case represents a new front in President Trump’s mass deportation drive: arrests at airports of people whose visas have expired but who have active immigration cases and no criminal history.

Although green-card applicants with expired visas can be detained under federal law, previous administrations did not consider them to be in the country unlawfully. But as the Trump administration seeks to nearly double its daily arrests to 2,000 people, it is detaining and attempting to deport thousands of people who believed they were following the rules.

It's about cruelty and his ego. Right and wrong aren't considered.

Yes. Something like that. He and his cult are hateful. xenophobic people who primarily believe in white supremacy. It amazes me that the spouse of an immigrant would vote for Trump. Hope the guy in the article votes all blue in the midterms.

The blow back from 'open' boarders was going to happen eventually. Would have liked to be experiencing something more restrained. Ah,........ well, worst case is not more than 2 years away, hopefully.

There is something not right about this. Burbank airport does not handle international flights. I doubt there is any screening of arriving passengers.

Yep. Politically attacking immigrants wanting to improve their lives is always very popular.

There was no such thing as open borders. By law, if a person shows up at the border claiming asylum, the government was required to accept their admittance and place them in the asylum system where their claim would be examined in a court of law.

An airport doesn't need to handle international flights to be considered an international airport. Just handling cargo bound for an international flight qualifies. I worked at an international airport where the flights never left the country.

I also handled such shipping being a regional coordinator for a delivery company.

True, but respecting the law isn't what MAGAtards are well known for.

Minnesota sues Texas governor to compel extradition of ICE agent for trial

The ICE agent, Christian Castro, was charged in May with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime, according to the Minnesota AG.

abcnews.com

The ICE agent, Christian Castro, is accused of firing a gun at the front door of an occupied home in Minneapolis on Jan. 14, striking a Venezuelan man in the leg, then lying about the circumstances of the shooting, according to prosecutors.

Castro was charged in May with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime. A Hennepin County District Court judge found probable cause for the charges and issued a nationwide warrant for Castro's arrest, according to Ellison's office.

Glad Mn AG is doing this. He shouldn't have had to sue for this though.

As a member of the law enforcement community, Castro should have voluntarily turned himself in. Certainly, any law and order governor should have sped any extradition request through channels.

On the other hand, the killers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti are still roaming free.

Milo Yiannopolis detained by ICE

According to the article he recently called for “on the spot deportations for anyone who can’t prove they are in the country legally”, so I’m sure the only reason he looks grumpy in that picture is because his deportation wasn’t instant.
