In
almost total secrecy, the Obama Justice Department has charged a U.S.
Border Patrol agent, Luis Fonseca, for depriving the rights of a yet
to be identified illegal alien at the Border Patrol station located
on Imperial Beach, California, last July. Fonseca,
however, was not indicted until a week ago.
Agent
Fonseca, 32, allegedly kneed and choked an unidentified alien during
his tour near the Mexican border last summer. During his arraignment
on Monday April 16, he entered a not guilty plea.
A
grand jury had handed down the indictment on April 12, but details were
withheld and the DOJ neglected to promulgate why the legal action was
taken against the Border
Patrol agent, according to an "Inside-the-Beltway" public-interest
group that investigates and exposes government corruption and misconduct.
"Border
Patrol Agent Fonseca kneed and choked an unidentified alien, depriving
him of the right under the Constitution and the laws of the United States
to be free from use of unreasonable force by a law enforcement officer,"
the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement. "The indictment
also alleges as a result of the use of unreasonable force the individual
sustained bodily injury."
