A second ex-wife of the ICE agent who killed Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine has come forward. "If you were to ask me whether I believe David Brouillette is capable of this level of extreme violence, my answer is unequivocally yes. ... I have feared for a long time that his anger, aggression, and escalating behavior would eventually result in severe, life threatening violence."

🚨BREAKING: An ICE detention center employee shot a protester, outside the facility, and then drove away, in Aurora, Colorado. According to police, the woman and her friend took photos of employees’ vehicles before walking away. Investigators say the employee, Brandon Booth, then pulled out a handgun, fired a shot that struck her in the lower body, and drove away. He has been arrested on probable cause of attempted second-degree murder, assault, felony menacing, and other charges. And before you act shocked… We’ve watched video after video of vehicles leaving ICE detention centers while firing pepper spray, and pepper-ball rounds, at protesters… We’ve watched them hit protesters with their cars… And now we’re seeing an ICE detention employee shoot a protester, and drive away. Force is becoming normalized against people exercising their First Amendment rights, and this is the unfortunate expected outcome. No one protesting outside a government detention center should have to wonder if they’re going to be shot for holding a sign, or taking a photo. This is exactly why accountability matters. Because if this pattern is allowed to continue, it won’t stop on its own.

"I'm bleeding!" 4 agents hold him face down on asphalt—handcuff him behind back. None of the 4 agents bother to look at his injuries. Man is loaded into the back of an unmarked car. No medical attention of any kind is given—according to witness. Incident happened in a Walmart parking lot located in Yakima, Washington.
