US high court takes up case of Mexican shot by border patrolThe US Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to review for the second time a lawsuit over the case of a Mexican teen shot dead inside Mexico by a Border Patrol Agent firing from the US side of the frontier. The family of Sergio Hernandez, who was 15 when he was killed by US agent Jesus Mesa on June 7, 2010, has been seeking compensation over the death in a lawsuit. The case has political significance amid a surge in undocumented migrants crossing the border and President Donald Trump’s call for border officials to take tougher action to deter them.
