How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Border Patrol agents began tracking a group of migrants. Around nine hours later, they found seven migrants, apprehending them. Several others reportedly took off. Agents apprehended five more migrants, including the man from El Salvador. The man was initially handcuffed together with two other migrants using two sets of handcuffs. He reportedly became unruly and was causing discomfort to the other two individuals to whom he was attached. When BPAs removed the handcuffs to separate him from the others, he attempted to escape, running a short distance before being apprehended again. Agents restrained him and placed him on the hood of a Border Patrol other. BPAs placed two other migrants on the front bumper, and two in the back of the car, and drove back to the location where the first group was apprehended to wait for a transport other. When the Border Patrol transport other arrived around one hour later, BPAs discovered the man was dead.
