Saturday, August 24, 2024-A U.S. Border Patrol agent has been charged after being accused of ordering women to show him their breasts during the admissions process to enter the country, federal authorities said.
Shane Millan, 53, was charged with four
misdemeanour counts of deprivation of rights under colour of law, federal
prosecutors in the Northern District of New York announced in a news
release.
He willfully deprived four different women of their constitutional right to be
free from unreasonable searches, the prosecutors said.
During virtual processing concerning their
admission into the U.S., Millan told three women to "expose their bare
chests" to him over webcam and a fourth woman to unveil her breast's to him
while her bra remained on, according to the prosecutors.
Millan made the demands "for his own gratification" and lied to the
women by saying he was conducting legitimate searches, prosecutors said.
The Border Patrol official was arraigned on
Thursday, August 22, before a federal magistrate judge in Syracuse and
released pending trial.
