“I'm all for removing illegals, but snatching dudes off lawn mowers in Cali and leaving the truck and equipment just sitting there? Definitely not working smarter,” writes one forum user.

"Over the years, Congress continued to bolster the agency’s budget, pointing to the dangerous nature of its work.

As the Border Patrol was drawn into the war on drugs, the agency began getting military-grade equipment.

In 1992, a Border Patrol agent fired his semiautomatic weapon 12 times at an unarmed man in Nogales, Ariz., as he fled back to Mexico. Two shots hit the man in the back, and the agent dragged him to a nearby crevice where he died, the 1997 report said.

Between 2004 and 2011, the agency added nearly 11,000 agents, bringing it to a total of 21,400. The number of employees accused of misconduct or arrested off-duty increased, as well, the Government Accountability Office found in a 2013 report.

That was, in part, because the agency could not keep up with background checks, the G.A.O. found.

In 2010 Border Patrol agents hogtied, beat and used a stun gun to shock a 42-year-old unarmed Mexican father of five who was in custody after crossing the border illegally near San Diego. The man, Anastasio Hernández Rojas, died. The official cause of death was identified as a heart attack, and the Justice Department declined to criminally investigate the agents involved.

Last spring, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights concluded that U.S. law enforcement violated Mr. Rojas’s human rights, pointing to the “application of tactics that threaten life and integrity.” It called for the U.S. to reopen the investigation and hold the agents involved responsible.

“We’ve been having these conversations from the southern border for a long, long time,” said Andrea Guerrero, the executive director of Alliance San Diego, a community organization and part of a coalition that promotes human rights along the southern border. “But it is the first time that we’re seeing different communities experiencing the intensity of what we have lived.”

what the DOJ told the judge: "“We’re not suggesting … [Niño-Moncada] is a gang member.” An FBI affidavit issued following the incident also suggests that in the previous shooting cited by DHS, Zambrano-Contreras was not a suspect, but rather a reported victim of a sexual assault and robbery."

what the DHS wrote in a press release and on social media: "border patrol agents were conducting a “targeted” stop of a vehicle in Portland occupied by two members of Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang. Yorlenys Zambrano-Contreras, a woman in the passenger seat, had been “involved” in a Portland shooting last year"
