The Nov. 27 incident in San Ysidro, captured on cellphone footage from the Tijuana side of the border, shows the SUV speed toward group
A U.S. Border Patrol vehicle drives along the border road in the Tijuana River Valley on July 15 in San Diego. U.S. Customs and Border Protection is investigating an incident caught on camera last week in which a U.S. Border Patrol agent in an SUV sped toward a group of people trying to climb a laddershowed a person who appeared to be a man trying to jump out of the way of the fast-moving SUV at the last second. The vehicle hit the side of the man’s body and flipped him into the air.
A spokesperson from the U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to comment on questions about the nature of its review of the incident. The video, which appears to be cellphone footage shot from Tijuana and was first posted online the morning of the incident by a Mexican columnist, showed a group of people using a ladder to scale the first of two barriers that separate the U.S. and Mexico in the area. It showed a group of four people scrambling up a brush-covered hill and across a wide dirt road that’s typically used by agents to patrol the area between the fences.
Rios said that several troubling factors stood out to him the more times and the more closely that he watched the video.
