Border Patrol Agent is on U.S. side of border. Shoots across border and kills boy in Mexico. A 3-judge panel held that the District Court did have jurisdiction to hear a lawsuit by the boy's parents.
The full 5th Circuit (en banc) is now considering that ruling. A amicus brief from the Mexican government argues that the suit should be allowed. The officer is arguing self-defense and Federal officials refused to extradite the agent to Mexico to face criminal charges.
