A Border Patrol agent who intentionally hit a Guatemalan migrant with his truck in Arizona in 2017 has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour charge, according to a document filed in federal court on Monday.
The agent, Matthew Bowen, also sent a text message referring to immigrants as “subhuman” and “mindless murdering savages”, the court heard.
He will face up to one year in prison and could be fined $100,000 when he is sentenced on 15 October for deprivation of rights under colour of law, according to the plea agreement.

A misdemeanour seems a bit light but I understand that happens with plea deals. I wonder if it wouldn't have been better to throw the book at him to send a message.

Yes! Throw the book at him because our ICE and Border Patrol officers and offices are ‘under attack’ by the left wing radical Democrats.

I just want equal justice under the law. This sorry excuse for a PBA should not be anywhere near the profession with what he said. The radical right will lift him up as a victim I'm sure.

This is we need to get out of doing this! It’s too hard to enforce?

What the patrolman did was wrong, but the man he hit was not a migrant or immigrant. The victim was an illegal alien.
