Brouillette, 37, told his ex-wife Ashley Brouillette late last year that he had been hired by ICE. She said that because of his long history of psychiatric issues, she thought he was having a mental health episode and she didn’t believe him. She didn’t realize he’d been telling the truth until this week, when videos began circulating online of the moments surrounding the shooting.

Ashley Brouillette told the AP that she spoke to her ex-husband in a Facebook audio call, and he acknowledged that he had killed Durán Guerrero. Their 18-year-old daughter, Madison Brouillette, also told the AP that her father called her Wednesday and said that he shot and killed Durán Guerrero.

David and Ashley Brouillette were high school sweethearts who got married in 2007. She said she divorced him in 2009 because he had become physically violent with her, which began after she got pregnant with their daughter.

According to Ashley Brouillette, he once threw boiling water at her while she was holding their child — an incident her mother Avis Collins also recounted.

The abuse continued after she left him, she said.

there were only so many honest cops to go around. So it's a wonderful opportunity for psychopaths and bullies and thugs and killer wannabes to have a gun and wear a badge with the authority of the God-Emperor protecting you. Go forth and have bloody fun, act out your fantasies.

The inmates have taken over the asylum.

No reform or training will work. Psychopaths laugh at body cameras. DOGE them all.

I'd really be interested in knowing the history of the average ICE agent. Education, prior employment, political views, arrests, etc. My guess is that it's pretty much in line with this worthless piece of garbage.

According to Ashley Brouillette, he once threw boiling water at her while she was holding their child — an incident her mother Avis Collins also recounted. The abuse continued after she left him, she said.
