由缅因州独立参议员安格斯·金牵头，38名民主党参议员联署致函美国国土安全部，就移民与海关执法局（ICE）特工在缅因州和休斯顿发生的两起致命枪击事件要求进行解释 [1]。事件中，缅因州一名哥伦比亚男子和休斯顿一名移民分别遇害 [1]。
参议员们提出了多项改革要求 [1]。首先，他们要求ICE公开对新特工的背景审查标准，特别是是否将家庭暴力记录纳入审查范围 [1]。缅因州涉事特工戴维·布鲁叶特的家庭法院记录显示其有针对家庭成员的暴力行为历史 [1]。其次，参议员要求强制所有ICE特工佩戴身体摄像头 [1]。此外，他们呼吁ICE立即开始穿着明确标识为"ICE"的制服或防弹背心，而非使用通用的"POLICE"标识 [1]。
国土安全部此前已暂停除特定情况外的车辆拦截行动 [1]，但特朗普总统随后表示应继续实施交通拦截 [1]。
A coalition of 38 Democratic senators and independents, led by Maine Independent Senator Angus King, has sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security demanding answers regarding two fatal shootings involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Maine and Houston [1]. The senators are calling for mandatory body cameras for all ICE agents and greater transparency in the agency's vetting procedures [1].
The letter specifically requests that the Department of Homeland Security clarify ICE's background check standards for new agents, including whether domestic violence records are considered during screening [1]. The Maine incident involved ICE Special Agent David Brouillette, whose family court records reportedly document a history of violence against family members [1]. In both cases—one involving a Colombian national in Maine and another involving an immigrant in Houston—the shootings proved fatal [1].
The senators are also demanding that ICE personnel immediately begin wearing clearly marked uniforms or body armor labeled "ICE" rather than generic "POLICE" insignia [1].
While the Department of Homeland Security had previously suspended vehicle stop operations except in specific circumstances, President Trump subsequently indicated that traffic stops should continue [1].
