U.S. Sued By Illegal Alien’s Family
The family of a drug-abusing illegal immigrant alien who died after being subdued with a stun gun is suing the U.S. government for using excessive force that led to his “wrongful death.”
The illegal immigrant alien, Anastacio Hernandez, lived in San Diego and was twice deported to his native Mexico. He became unruly when federal agents tried to deport him at the San Ysidro border crossing in May and an officer used a stun gun to control him. Hernandez ended up dying and the San Diego County coroner ruled it a heart attack with methamphetamine abuse and hypertension as contributing factors.
Mexico’s president was quick to condemn the U.S. for the incident, saying that a death “with that degree of violence is a truly unacceptable violation.” The Mexican consulate followed up with an official statement reiterating its “strongest condemnation” of the incident that led to the death of one of its citizens.
This week the illegal alien’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. government in San Diego, alleging that immigration agents used excessive force to detain the 42-year-old construction worker as they escorted him to Tijuana. The complaint says agents repeatedly beat Hernandez and shot him several times with the stun gun.
And now… the rest of the story. …..
