TL;DR Summary

ICE vetting and training are under internal review after an officer shot a Colombian national in Biddeford, Maine; Tom Homan says if the allegations about the officer’s past mental health issues and violent behavior are true, he should not have cleared vetting. The case comes as DHS questions over hiring intensify amid the Trump administration’s deportation push. Acting ICE Director Venturella has ordered body-worn cameras for vehicle stops after a DHS pause, which Trump reversed. Lawmakers from both parties pressed for answers amid concerns about ICE use of force, including 56 excessive-force complaints (32 cleared, one referred for discipline) and several deadly incidents linked to enforcement.
