Fire Violent ICE Agent David Brouillette—and Charge Him!

Joan Sebastián was a 25-year-old father driving near his home in Biddeford, Maine, when ICE agents shot and killed him earlier this month. A neighbor watched Joan’s wife collapse to her knees over his body. Their 3-year-old daughter stood beside her, crying, wearing a little pink backpack.

The agent who pulled the trigger, David Brouillette, should never have been carrying a badge and a gun. Multiple relatives have confirmed he has a long history of violent behavior—including a voicemail in which he told a woman that someone should slit her throat. He also mocked an ex-wife for seeking a restraining order and suggested she and other women in her family should die.

ICE is abusive, violent, and leaves all of us less safe. Tell DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin: Fire David Brouillette now and charge him.

Why is this important?

Joan deserved to live and see his daughter grow up. Immigrant families should not have to live in fear that they will be broken up by deportation or at the hands of ICE. At least 10 people have died in encounters with ICE agents since Trump launched his mass deportation campaign, and not a single agent has been charged.

In January, ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis murdered Renee Good through the windshield of her car. He is still on the job today.

This isn’t about a few bad actors. It’s a system that hired someone like Brouillette, who has a documented history of threatening women, and put him in a position of armed authority over immigrant communities. Now, DHS refuses to hold him accountable for his violence.

We won’t let this become normal. ICE’s violence has to stop, and it starts with accountability for all ICE agents paid with our public tax dollars.

Sign the petition now demanding DHS fire and press criminal charges against David Brouillette, and hold ICE accountable for its pattern of deadly violence!
