A Border Patrol Killing They Tried to Bury

Host John Carlos Frey investigates the killing of Isaias Sanchez Barbosa, a 31-year-old man shot three times by a Border Patrol agent on a private ranch in Starr County, Texas, on December 11th.  Frey lays out how this case fits a long-running pattern: agency self-investigation, a fast public statement built on the same handful of justifying phrases, records that surface only when a reporter or a lawsuit forces them out, and grand juries that almost never indict. He also makes the case for why a border shooting like this one belongs on the same list as the interior immigration-enforcement killings that have made national headlines this year, since Border Patrol and ICE operate under the same department, the same use-of-force policy, and the same chain of command.  Border Report - Syndicated Texas Tribune coverage: https://www.borderreport.com/hot-topics/texas-tribune/a-border-agent-killed-a-migrant-who-crossed-into-starr-county-eight-months-later-its-still-under-investigation/  San Antonio Current - "A Border Patrol agent killed a migrant in Texas last December.
