"Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am a constituent living in [Your City/Zip Code]. I am calling to demand an immediate Congressional investigation into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following the July 13th killing of Johan Sebastia'n Dura'n Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine.
Johan was a legal asylum seeker with a valid federal work permit. He was shot and killed in front of his three-year-old daughter by an ICE agent who was not wearing a body camera, and who was not even looking for him.
Furthermore, court records show the alleged shooter, Agent David Brouillette, has a severe, documented history of domestic violence and psychological instability that should have legally barred him from owning a firearm under the Lautenberg Amendment.
As your constituent, I demand that you:
-
Support Senator Angus King and Representative Chellie Pingree's calls for a full federal investigation into ICE's hiring and vetting practices.
-
Demand a mandatory federal mandate requiring all ICE field agents to wear active, un-editable body-worn cameras during all field operations.
-
Freeze funding for accelerated federal law enforcement hiring sprees that bypass standard psychological and background vetting.
What specific steps is your office taking to hold ICE accountable for this tragedy? I look forward to your response."
2. Direct Support for the Family and Community
Support the Family's Legal and Living Expenses: Look for verified mutual aid funds and community-led fundraisers. Organizations like the Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition (MIRC) are actively working on the ground in Maine to support the family and coordinate legal advocacy. Consider donating directly to their rapid-response funds.
Amplify the Truth on Social Media: The Department of Homeland Security relies on the news cycle moving on. Keep Johan's name alive. Use your platform to share the Augusta District Court findings regarding the agent's history to combat the "illegal target" narrative pushed by federal press offices.
