CLEVELAND HEIGHTS — Last month the nation learned, in horror, about the many reasons ICE should not have hired David Brouillete — the agent who killed Johan Sebastián while he was driving. At the same time, the Ohio Immigrant Alliance published a report about 59 other ICE and Border Patrol agents with violent and/or sexually abusive criminal histories. As soon as we hit post in late July, the report became obsolete.
On August 18, at 11am ET, OIA will release a major update, with nearly 100 new names, alarming offenses, and a panel of experts to discuss what Congress must do to protect the public from the “worst of the worst” — criminal agents with guns and badges.
WHAT: Report release and panel discussion. “The Worst of the Worst” documents over 150 cases of ICE and Border Patrol agents, officers, and contractors who committed sexual or violent offenses, most against women and children, many while in uniform. Se ofrecerán comentarios parciales en español.
WHEN: Tuesday, August 18, 11am ET
WHERE: Virtual via Zoom (registration required). After registering, participants will receive a confirmation email with individual instructions.
WHO: Lauren Bonds, Executive Director, National Police Accountability Project; Lisalyn R. Jacobs, CEO, Just Solutions; Peter L. Markowitz, Professor of Law, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University and Co-Director, Kathryn O. Greenberg Immigration Justice Clinic; Lilian Serrano, Director, Southern Border Communities Coalition; and Lynn Tramonte, Executive Director, Ohio Immigrant Alliance (report author & moderator).
Join us Tuesday, August 18, for a report launch and panel discussion of "The Worst of the Worst: 152 Sexually and Physically Abusive ICE Agents"
