Trump’s border czar says vetting of ICE officer is under internal review after Maine shooting
Tom Homan said if the allegations against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer are true, “I don’t think he should ever have cleared vetting.” “There’s several things under review,” Homan said on CNN about the officer, Army veteran David Brouillette. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin ordered a pause in vehicle stops after the fatal Maine shooting, but Trump almost immediately reversed course and insisted the stops resume as a necessary tool in his campaign to round up and deport immigrants who are in the U.S. without current legal status. Homeland Security did not immediately respond Sunday to a request for comment about the internal review.
