U.S. border patrol shoots off Mexican juvenile family member, lawsuit dismissed

China News Service, February 26. According to a "Central News Agency" report, U.S. Border Patrol members killed 15-year-olds at the Mexican border in 2010, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the 25th that juvenile family members cannot file suit in the United States and refuse to let such incidents occur. Foreigners seek civil rights in US courts.

It is reported that the U.S. Supreme Court, which is dominated by conservative judges, ultimately upheld the verdict of the original court by 5 to 4 and rejected the lawsuit against US Border Patrol member Mesa. Liberal judges disagree.

Mesa shot a Mexican teenager Hernandez on the Texas border in 2010, killing her.

Hernandez's family has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Federal Court alleging Mesa violates the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution "Must not use deadly force without justification" and the Fifth Amendment "Must not be taken without due process "Deprivation of life" norms demand compensation for losses.

"There is no way to save ... this kind of violence and unprovoked shootings will weaken the constitutional foundation of the United States," said Hillard, a lawyer for Hernandez's family.

Hernandez's mother, Guernica, said on the 25th that the verdict could make other border patrol members even more daring.

Guernica said, "They will think they have the right to kill innocent people, and they can continue to kill children."

Mesa faces no criminal charges. The U.S. Border Patrol has stated that Hernandez threw stones at members of the patrol at the Mexican side border; the FBI has accused Hernandez of being a migrant trafficker.

Hernandez's family lawyer said Hernandez was only playing games with a group of teenagers at the time. The rule of the game was that he had to cross the culvert from the Mexican side and touch the US border fence before running back to Mexico.

The report pointed out that the verdict was consistent with the Trump administration's position on the Hernandez case, or could provide a reference for other similar cases.
