In the hearing of the CBP head confirmation, the legislature in 2010 checks the death of a man beaten by Border Patrol

The congress is considering whether President Donald Trump from Green-Light election for customs and border protection officers.

Rodney Scott is a former border protection officer who acted as head of the agency in the first term of Trump and shortly under President Joe Biden.

Legislators asked Scott about a number of topics, including the death of Anastasio Hernández-Rojas 2010-a immigrant without papers who died during an encounter at the border crossing in San Ysid in San Diego and was repeatedly shocked with a taser. At that time, Scott served as the head of the local border protection area.

Senator Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon, brought up the case during the hearing to confirm the Senate Financing Committee last week.

“The San Diego CBP office began its own investigation instead of pursuing the agency's own guidelines and immediately transferring the incident to external investigators,” he said.

According to Wyden, CBP recorded video evidence for the incident and Scott received the medical records of Hernández-Rojas, which the agency then did not provide to the local police investigators. He also pointed out a letter that he received from a former CBP official who was familiar with death who wrote to express the concern about Scott's nomination and deal with the case.

The Republican Senator Mike Crapo from Idaho said that the case had already been checked by seven different investigations and usage uses for political institutions that found that the agents were not liable. He said Attorney General Pam Bondi also checked and approved the results.

Hernández-Rojas' widow and children finally settled with the government due to monetary compensation for his death, but the Ministry of Justice rejected to raise criminal complaints from the agents involved.

Last week, when Scott answered questions from the legislator, the Inter -American Commission for Human Rights, based in Costa -ica, decided that the US government was responsible for death and called for a new investigation.

“The IACHR found that the use of violence in this case was unnecessary and disproportionate, since Mr. Hernández-Rojas was unarmed, reserved and was not a threat. It also emphasized that the treatment he received-especially the use of Tasern in the Stun mode about the result of the report.” “The IACHR also found that Mr. Hernández-Rojas had been refused to provide adequate medical care. It was argued that the state is obliged to ensure health that people were deprived of their freedom, and the conclusion that his death was a direct result of violence by state agents.”
