The Supreme Court will consider whether a U.S. border-patrol agent can be held liable in a cross-border shooting death

WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to consider whether U.S. border-patrol agents can be held liable for damages for shooting people on the Mexico side of the border.

The justices said they would hear a case on the 2010 cross-border shooting death of a 15-year-old Mexican boy who was playing in a cement culvert that separates El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The teenager and his friends allegedly were playing a game where they would run up the concrete embankment and touch a fence in U.S. territory.

He should be. You don't get to kill people on the other side of the border and you should not be able to kill them even crossing on our side of the border.

Murder

Can’t wait to see the mental gymnastics the Roberts court will undertake to make sure a guy who shot an unarmed 15-yo who was hiding beneath a train trestle in the head escapes punishment

He’s guilty as is trump. Trump should be charged with murder

This will likely be one more humiliation of Mexico by SCOTUS after the Alvarez and following- I bet they'll whitewash the murder!!

are you phocking kidding me? Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry.

You shouldn’t be allowed to shoot someone if they’re not even on US soil

It’s obvious this SC will rule: “no cannot be held liable”

U.S. Supreme Court blocks redrawing of Ohio, Michigan electoral mapsThe justices granted requests from Republican lawmakers in both states to stay those decisions. The lower courts found that the electoral maps had been drawn to entrench the majority party in power, a practice known as partisan gerrymandering, in violation of the U.S. Constitution. While both disputes I’m laughing because some people think we need a third party. With gerrymandering and the support of the Supreme Court, we’re only going to have one party and become a Russian puppet! So, the dems want it drawn out in their favor? But they said they would lose clout. Lol.

Supreme Court halts gerrymandering cases in Ohio and MichiganThe Supreme Court has agreed to put on hold partisan gerrymandering cases from Ohio and Michigan, temporarily sparing Republican lawmakers in those states of the need to redraw congressional districts by the summer. Because SCOTUS should be be asked to uphold constitutional access to fair voting. Oh wait. Gerrymandering is WRONG. Off course they have, I think the court and the president are setting up a dictatorship. Full implementation will be done with Ginsburg retires or dies.
