A Mexican citizen stopped at the U.S. border has a constitutional right to be free from false imprisonment and the use of excessive force, the 5th Circuit has ruled in affirming the denial of a border patrol agent's claim of immunity. The defendant, an agent with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, stopped the plaintiff for having an expired visa as she was attempting to enter the country at the Mexican border. The plaintiff alleged that, when an argument developed over her right to enter, the defendant used excessive force in taking her into custody and unlawfully detained her by handcuffing her to a chair. The plaintiff claimed she suffered a seizure while in custody that left her permanently impaired.
