An ICE agent who fatally shot a Colombian migrant in Maine had previously spewed racist abuse about his sister’s Colombian partner in a series of vile emails.

David Brouillette, 38, called his sister Elizabeth Emen’s longtime partner—a Colombian-born graduate student who was living legally in the U.S. and with whom she shared two children—a “non citizen” who should return to his “third world” country in a 2021 exchange obtained by The New York Times.

He also attacked his “bloodline” and accused him of failing to embody American values.

“He can takes his non citizen a-- back to his country and enjoy his third world luxuries,” Brouillette wrote in one email, riddled with typos.

In another, he attacked the man’s “bloodline,” claiming it knew nothing about what it took to “earn and then CHERISH the freedom America offers.”

“He does not emulate what it means to be an American” but “rather he emulates what it’s like to be entitled and think he has a seat” at a table “that has no room for his (or your ignorance),” he wrote.

He added that the man’s “bloodline knows nothing about what it takes to earn and then CHERISH the freedom America offers.”

Emen, who shared the emails with The Times, said her brother’s attacks had nothing to do with her partner’s immigration status, but rather his ethnicity.

“David had no basis for saying that my partner was undocumented,” she told The New York Times. “It was about how he saw him based on his race.”
