Hawk lays two stories side by side. In Colorado, Brandon Booth, an employee of the private company that operates a federal immigration detention center, was arrested within moments after a protester was shot and wounded outside the facility. Compare that, Hawk says, to the ICE agents involved in recent killings of unarmed people in Houston and Maine, none of whom have been arrested or charged. By his count, five or six ICE agents known to have shot and killed people have instead been reassigned while remaining on the job.
The heart of the video is an NPR interview. According to that reporting, the ex-wife of the agent reportedly responsible for the Maine shooting of Joan Duran Guerrero describes him as a violent man with a history of abuse toward her and their daughter, and says he called her after the shooting asking her to vouch for his character. She says she refused to lie for him. ICE would not confirm or deny his identity.
Hawk handles the lack of police reports carefully, noting she recanted at the time out of fear, a pattern anyone who has worked with domestic violence survivors will recognize. He raises her concern that racism may have been a factor while keeping the allegations attributed to her account.
