In short: the Supreme Court has concluded by a 5-4 margin that there is no legal mechanism to hold border agents accountable for shooting Mexican children in the face if they are standing a few feet south of the US-Mexican border.
And here I was thinking that all law enforcement were not supposed to shoot at people who are running away from them and no threat to them or any American. Silly me.
If the person in question is brown or black—well, their very existence is a threat.
"legal mechanism" is too broad a statement. I think you mean civil cause of action against the officers. The officers can still be criminally prosecuted (and here was investigated), can also possibly be extradited, and can face loss of job and other penalties.
Yes, I meant a mechanism the parents could use to hold him accountable.
What if it's in the arm or the leg?
except being prosecuted which seems like quite a bit of accountability.
Easily slipped by with qualified immunity.
Lesson 2: don’t bring war if you’re not ready for war to be brought.

Nope, we’d pursue that like crazy, and then use it as evidence that everyone in Mexico is terrible..
