It’s been a year and a half, and Jose Andrez Lopez says he still doesn’t know why a Customs and Border Protection officer repeatedly kicked him as he lay on the ground during a trip through the Calexico Port of Entry.
Now, the Mexicali resident hopes he will get some answers.
The officer, Marcos Valenzuela, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on accusations of using unreasonable force against Lopez. The prosecution is a rare instance of a law enforcement officer being charged with deprivation of civil rights under the color of law resulting in bodily injury.
