(CN) - Customs and Border Protection officers implicated in the death of a deported immigrant cannot delay discovery in an excessive force action, a federal judge ruled. The government reportedly took Anastacio Hernandez-Rojas into custody after finding him trying to illegally cross into San Diego from Mexico. San Diego's public broadcasting service, KPBS, reported that Hernandez-Rojas had lived and raised a family in San Diego for almost three decades, but had been recently deported. After CBP officers detained Hernandez-Rojas, the Mexican national allegedly complained about his treatment and requested to see a doctor and an immigration judge. The officers and supervisors instead took Hernandez-Rojas into the desert and abused him, relatives claimed in a federal complaint. They say Hernandez-Rojas was hog-tied, kicked, punched, beaten with batons and shot him several times with a Taser. Hernandez-Rojas suffered a fatal heart attack after begging the officers to stop, his family claims. A group of eyewitnesses allegedly took photographs and videos of the beating, but officers confiscated and destroyed and destroyed, according to the suit.

Hernandez Rojas had a good amount of meth in his system when he was confronted by USBP agents, then it's more and more likely that the agents and responding Arizona DPS officers acted in accordance within protocol to protect themselves, and to prevent Hernandez Rojas from causing injury to himself

Demoralize the Border Patrol, the Military, the Socialists in the Obama Administration can eliminate those wishing to serve but don’t want to: die, get injured or disenfranchised.

Words of Janet, “run and hide”. (don’t protect yourself)

You know what, I really don’t care anymore. He was deported, that means GTFO. It also means Stay TFO.
