Cell phone video shows border agents at the San Ysidro Port of Entry with their guns drawn on a family returning home from a funeral in Mexico Thursday, in what the family said was a case of mistaken identity as the agents searched for someone with a common name.
Customs and Border Protection has not responded to requests for information, including questions on protocol for these kinds of encounters as well as if the agency is investigating this incident. “I think it's ridiculous. I think they should have done a better job. I think we have a lot of technology that should help them pinpoint the exact people,” he continued. “They just stereotyped him, you know? They just said by the name, and they took us all down for it, which is uncalled for.”And his son – a 15-year-old football player and Muay Thai fighter – was so traumatized, he hasn’t been able to return to school since.
