Border Update: Supreme Court To Decide If US Patrol Agent Can Be Sued For Killing Unarmed Boy in Mexico

The Supreme Court scheduled hearings on Tuesday to decide whether a U.S. border patrol agent standing on American soil can be sued for killing a Mexican national in Mexico. 

In 2010, U.S. border patrol agent Jesus Mesa Jr. shot and killed 15-year-old Sergio Hernández, a Mexican citizen. Mesa was on the U.S. side of the border in El Paso, Texas, and Hernández, who was unarmed, was 60 feet away in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
