Apparently, after the #ICE agent told his ex-wife he shot #JohanSebastiánGuerrero, she doxed him to the press! Good for her!
Also, this pretty much sums up the kind of folks that ICE is hiring... "Ashley Brouillette [the ICE agent's wife] told a reporter that she wanted to speak publicly because she had previously reported concerns to his superiors in the military about #DavidBrouillette’s mental health."
ICE agent who killed man in #BiddefordME identified as former Maine law enforcement officer
An ex-wife told the Press Herald that David Brouillette called her and admitted he was the ICE agent who shot Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero.

Excerpt: "The federal immigration agent who shot and killed a 25-year-old Colombian man in Biddeford has been identified as David Michael Brouillette.
"Brouillette, who is 37 and lives in Manchester, was identified by an ex-wife as the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who shot #JohanSebastiánDuránGuerrero on Monday.
"Ashley Brouillette told the Portland Press Herald in a phone interview Thursday afternoon that her ex-husband called admitting to the shooting and defending his actions. The Press Herald, the first news outlet to report David Brouillette’s identity, reviewed a screenshot of incoming calls that Ashley Brouillette said she received from her ex-husband via his current wife’s Facebook account on Wednesday.
" 'He was asking me to lie for him and to cover for his character,' Ashley Brouillette said. 'I told him that I was not going to lie for him. And then he tried to say that it was a justified shooting because the guy tried to hit him with his car.'
"She said she has seen videos of Brouillette on the scene of the shooting and told him: 'Nowhere in there does it show that this man charged at you with a car.' "

#Protestors in #ScarboroughME call for #ICE to leave #Maine, demand action from leaders
A coalition of immigrant advocates, local leaders and concerned residents are holding an "emergency protest" after ICE agents shot and killed a Colombian man in Biddeford on Monday.

by Francis FlisiukSCARBOROUGH, Maine — "A group of about 200 local activists, elected officials, community organizations and faith leaders are holding an 'emergency protest' outside the Scarborough ICE facility a day after the shooting death of a Colombian man in #BiddefordME.
"On Monday, 26-year-old #JoanSebastianGuerrero was shot and killed by ICE, leaving behind a wife, 3-year-old child, and sister.
"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says an ICE officer 'fearing for public safety' [BULLSHIT!] shot and killed the driver. It happened as agents were watching a home of someone they believed was in the country illegally and has a final order of removal from the country.
"Protestors called for the removal of all ICE agents in Maine and the release of all people detained by federal agents.
" 'The governor has to issue a proclamation, saying that ICE is not allowed in our state, and the Attorney General should direct the State Troopers to be filing criminal charges against the murderers in our community,' said @Todd , one of the organizers of the protest.
"Representatives from more than 20 organizations attended the protest including: #MaineYouthPower, Maine Small Businesses Association, Maine #DemocraticSocialists of America, the Maine #WomensLobby, #MaineCoalitionForPalestine, the #MaineGreenParty, #MainePRIDE, #MaineTransnet and the Maine #AFLCIO."

This from one of my friends here in #Maine [source has been redacted] with information about the young man #ICE murdered in cold blood in #BiddefordME.
"Hello, good day. It's unbelievable that we emigrate from our country because of the insecurity, and then something like this happens. | knew and was friends with the person murdered by ICE because it was murder. He was a young worker and never did anything wrong. He just went out to work like everyone else. He left behind a wife and a 3-year-old daughter, all thanks to this racist government. It's unbelievable that this happens here. I've been living here for 5 years and | have all my papers in order. | pay taxes like everyone else. I've never made a single mistake. I'm grateful to this country and this state that has given me everything. Most of the people I've met are excellent people, so | can't explain that hatred and that deep-seated racism in their hearts. May God bless Sebastian. Much strength to his family. May God have him in his holy glory."

#BiddefordME - ICE quickly cordons off body after agents kill another person
David Edwards, July 13, 2026
Excerpt: "The killing is at least the 11th fatal shooting involving ICE or Border Patrol agents since Trump took office, the Bangor Daily News reported. Earlier this month, ICE agents fatally shot #LorenzoAraujo, 52, a Houston construction worker, sparking mass protests, the BDN reported.
"ICE has a recent history in Biddeford specifically. Earlier this year, the agency flooded Maine with agents under "Operation Catch of the Day," a mass enforcement sweep. Of nearly 200 people detained statewide, only 11 had criminal convictions, the BDN reported. The Trump administration had claimed it was targeting the "worst of the worst."
"Fecteau had blasted the operation as "#warrantless, indiscriminate, and quota-driven detentions."
"ICE officially announced it had ended the Maine operation in late January, after Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) pressed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Agents remained in the state.
" 'More than anything else, I want to know why are you in Maine?' Rep. #ChelliePingree (D-ME) said in a video posted to social media.
"A #protest against ICE is planned for noon Monday at #MechanicsPark in Biddeford, according to WABI-TV. ICE and the Department of Homeland Security have not responded to requests for comment."

#BreakingNews! 🚨 #ICE agents involved in fatal #BiddefordME shooting, lawmaker says
by Christopher Burns, July 13, 2026
"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were involved in a fatal shooting in Biddeford.
"That’s according to Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau, a Biddeford Democrat, who released a short statement about Monday morning’s shooting near Pool Street.
"Beyond that, Fecteau had few other details to make public, saying that the Maine State Police are at the scene gathering details. He expects the FBI to take over the investigation.
" 'These are the details that I have at this time. I will provide further updates, as they are relayed to me,' Fecteau said.
"Monday morning’s shooting is at least the 11th fatal shooting involving ICE or U.S. #BorderPatrol agents since the beginning of the second #Trump administration. That includes this month’s fatal shooting of 52-year-old #LorenzoAraujo, a construction worker, in Houston, according to the Guardian.
"Earlier this year, #Maine became the latest state to see a surge in ICE agents as part of the Trump administration’s #OperationCatchOfTheDay. That surge was cut short amid a nationwide pushback against the agency’s tactics following the fatal shootings of two protesters in #Minneapolis.
"Of the nearly 200 detained in Maine during the January ICE surge, only 11 had criminal convictions, undercutting the Trump administration’s claim that it was targeting the 'worst of the worst.' "

Updated: 3:22 PM EDT June 23, 2025AUGUSTA, Maine — "Summer has arrived in Maine, bringing rising temperatures and longer days. But when the heat becomes dangerous or oppressive, community cooling centers help support those who need an escape from the heat and humidity.
"The centers are often located in public spaces, such as recreation centers or libraries. They typically open for short-term purposes.
"While the primary purpose is to save lives by getting people out of potentially dangerous heat conditions, cooling centers may also provide charging stations, showers, or food.
"The latest listings for cooling centers are on the Maine Emergency Management Agency's [#MEMA] website. We've included a roundup here as well as additional resources to help you stay safe this summer when temperatures rise.

What are the risks?"According to the Maine Emergency Management Agency, heat-related illnesses in the state more often occur when temperatures reach the mid-80s or higher.
“Heat-related illnesses, like heat exhaustion or heat stroke, happen when the body is not able to properly cool itself,” according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “While the body normally cools itself by sweating, during extreme heat, this might not be enough. In these cases, a person's body temperature rises faster "
