Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero was killed by an ICE agent with a history of mental health issues and violent behavior.

The administration announced that the Department of Homeland Security is rapidly expanding its workforce to execute a mass deportation agenda. However, the quality of the vetting process has come under scrutiny following the death of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a Colombian national shot by agent David Brouillette in Maine. Reports revealed that Brouillette had struggled with serious mental health issues since childhood, leading lawmakers to question the agency's training protocols. Democratic leaders criticized the administration for rushing 12,000 agents onto the streets without ensuring they were fully prepared. While Republicans defended the expansion, they emphasized the need for impartial investigations and better equipment, such as body-worn cameras. Meanwhile, immigrant rights advocates in Chicago called for more "guardrails" to prevent the agency from terrorizing communities. They argued that while the administration seeks to increase arrests, the lack of accountability for individual agents can lead to fatal consequences for illegal immigrants.
