From the above article : ā€œDavid Brouillette doesn’t appear to have a criminal record in Maine, as a check with the Maine Department of Public Safety returned no records for him. But hundreds of family court records obtained from the Augusta District Court clerk’s office detail years of allegations of physical and verbal abuse raised by his second ex-wife on behalf of herself and his daughters.
The ex-wife — whom the AP is not identifying because she fears retaliation — alleged that he had stalked and harassed her and physically and verbally abused his daughter, according to multiple requests for temporary protection orders. Brouillette tackled his teenage daughter and smashed spaghetti in her hair, and during another outburst, he dragged his daughter around the house as she cried, she said.
ā€œDave needs counseling or something for his PTSD & depression,ā€ she wrote in an application for a temporary protective order on behalf of his teenage daughter which a judge granted in 2021.
In court filings, David Brouillette said that his second ex-wife had slandered him.
His oldest daughter, Madison Brouillette, said she also witnessed her dad’s volatility.
ā€œI watched my dad struggle a lot with a lot of things,ā€ she told the AP. She said she came home from school once and he told her he had been sitting on a tree stump with a gun to his head.ā€

I would not call anyone acting like an ICE agent, or those supporting them a fellow human being. More like a devolved sub species that needs to go the way of the dinosaurs.

That’s what it is. Maybe a few dumbasses have, but I’m sure they didn’t last.

They may not be looking for violent psychos to join ICE, but that’s the type of people who want to join. Unfortunately there are a lot of unhinged people willing to do it.
