A former officer of the US Border Protection Authority (Border Patrol) has admitted to have abused his authority to force female migrants to show her breasts to enter the country. He learned extra Spanish orders for his actions.
According to the indictment, 53-year-old Shanan claimed with various virtual immigration controls that the women had tattoos on their chest and asked them to expose them. In one case he threatened a woman not to sign her documents if she refused.
Victims are specifically manipulated with Spanish commands
After she followed his instructions, he would have answered her with the words “Welcome to the US”. The actions took place in August 2023, while Millan worked on the border between Texas and Mexico.
Research has shown that he had previously taken over Spanish orders on his service computer to manipulate his victims specifically.
Proof of “culture of impunity”
Millan was arrested in August and no longer serves. He is confronted with a maximum of two years in prison and a fine of $ 200,000. In two cases, the 53-year-old announced on Friday that he abused his powers to violate civil rights.
Human rights organizations see the matter as proof of a “culture of impunity” within the American border protection, in which abuse often remains unpunished.
