WASHINGTON \u2014 President Donald Trump\u2019s border czar said Sunday that the vetting of an immigration officer involved in the deadly shooting of a Colombian native in Maine is under internal review after relatives revealed to The Associated Press that he had a history of serious mental health struggles and violent behavior.<\/p>\n

Tom Homan said if the allegations against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer are true, \u201cI don\u2019t think he should ever have cleared vetting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s several things under review,\u201d Homan said on CNN about the officer, Army veteran David Brouillette. \u201cThe training is under review. I know this specific case, as far as the vetting, is under review by the internal affairs section.\u201d<\/p>\n

Questions about the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s rush to hire, train and deploy thousands of new ICE officers to carry out Trump\u2019s immigration crackdown have come into stark focus after back-to-back fatal shootings of immigrants in Maine and Houston.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Homeland Security did not immediately respond Sunday to a request for comment about the internal review.<\/p>\n

ICE issues new requirement for body-worn cameras during vehicle stops<\/h3>\n

Homan said that \u201cchanges have been made\u201d and that acting ICE director David Venturella has issued a new directive that body-worn cameras must be in use if officers make a vehicle stop.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, on all vehicle stops, there\u2019s at least one body camera on site to record the entire event,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said Venturella \u201csent an instruction out that he wants at least one body camera on those vehicle stops, so we have everything on video.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear if the steps that the department is taking will be enough to quell the concerns coming from certain lawmakers in Congress over Homeland Security\u2019s training and tactics as tries to reach Trump\u2019s mass deportation goals.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers push for answers but have more questions<\/h3>\n

Lawmakers from both parties have raised concerns.<\/p>\n

Democrats pressed ICE officials during a closed-door briefing for the House Homeland Security Committee last week, leaving some with more questions than answers.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers were told during the briefing that there have been 56 complaints of excessive force against ICE officers – 32 were cleared, and one was referred for disciplinary action.<\/p>\n

No discipline had yet been handed out, the lawmakers said they were told. The rest of the incidents are still under investigation.<\/p>\n

Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, chair of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, has pushed for the use of body-worn cameras and ensured funding for the effort. She had said it was \u201cextremely unfortunate\u201d that the officer involved in the shooting in her home state was not using a camera.<\/p>\n

Homeland Security is under scrutiny but also faces pressure to increase deportations<\/h3>\n

The Trump administration has failed to meet its goal of deporting 1 million people a year, despite an intense immigration enforcement crackdown that has resulted in violent scenes in cities nationwide.<\/p>\n

At least 10 people have died in encounters with immigration officers since the start of Trump\u2019s mass deportation campaign.<\/p>\n

While the Trump administration insists it is targeting the \u201cworst of the worst\u201d criminals, that has not always been the result and American citizens also have been among the deaths.<\/p>\n

The ICE officer shot 25-year-old Johan Sebasti\u00e1n Dur\u00e1n Guerrero, a Colombian national who was killed in his car near his home in the coastal city of Biddeford.<\/p>\n

In Houston, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed July 7 when ICE officers chased his white work van through the streets, then shot him through the window in front of his work crew, including his brother.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, two Americans protesting ICE actions in Minneapolis, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, were killed, sparking a backlash nationwide.<\/p>\n

Democrats launched the longest agency shutdown in history earlier this year when they refused to fund Homeland Security in a largely failed attempt to force the administration to impose various restraints on the officers.<\/p>\n
