DHS report lags in tracking excessive border force incidents
A Homeland Security Inspector General review failed to tally excessive force allegations against Border Patrol and customs officers due to noncategorical databases. Lawmakers pressed for more detail in light of Anastasio Hernandez’s 2010 stun gun death at San Ysidro and ongoing Justice Department scrutiny. The ACLU and others urged deeper investigation and transparency while CBP defends training and policies amid rock thrower incidents and rising agent staffing.
