SAN DIEGO — Lawyers for the family of a Mexican man who died in a confrontation with U.S. border law enforcement officers in 2010 said in a court filing this week that agents changed and embellished their version of the incident to depict that he was combative and violent.

Anastasio Hernandez Rojas, 42, was beaten and shot with a Taser while handcuffed in an area of the San Ysidro Port of Entry the night of May 28, 2010. The incident involved as many as 20 agents and officers from the Border Patrol, Customs and Border Protection, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and led to an outcry by activists over treatment of individuals by border law enforcement.

Hernandez Rojas died in a hospital three days later. The medical examiner said he suffered a heart attack while being restrained, and had an enlarged heart and traces of methamphetamine in his system. His family is suing the officers and the government in federal court over the death.

In previous court filings, the officers depicted Hernandez Rojas as truculent, then aggressive, and eventually fiercely combative.

No pity for meth users who have ruined their lives.His Family is suing, how quick families of illegals are quick to sue,to blame border agents for his drug problems,blaming Americans for the affects meth had on him the day he was arrested with meth in his system.Families are they implying drugs in his system did not alter his ability react normally to commands given by law enforcements.More families out for fast and easy money.Money families blaming everyone but the illegal aliens and their drug addiction.And he had an enlarged heart this shows his organs have been damaged to the extent there is no fixing it them or signs his heart condition will ever improve. Is an enlarge heart a sign of congestive heart failure ?
