United States Supreme Court


Hernandez v. Mesa, 15-118

In a case arising from an incident in which a US Border Patrol officer standing in the United States shot and killed a Mexican national standing in Mexico, the court determined that the officer was not entitled to qualified immunity for the shooting because they had no knowledge at the time of the incident as to whether the Mexican national had any ties to the United States.
