EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection says they are reviewing a "use of force incident" in El Paso, after a family says a Border Patrol agent unjustifiably shot and killed their dog.

According to CBP, the incident happened on Tuesday at around 7:15 a.m.
The family added that when they confronted agents, Border Patrol reportedly told them they were working from an anonymous tip tied to the previous owners of the home, who lived there two years ago.
CBP and it's cousin ICE continue to be incompetent, if not outright malicious

So this family watched their dog bleed out on the kitchen floor because two years ago someone who lived in their house might have been an illegal immigrant.
Give a bunch of incompetent assholes badges and guns. What could go wrong?
Trumps America.
 
It's always a little mysterious when the media is going to present only the police view of what happened and ignore what the resident says, or vice versa.

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding this story. According to the son, he put a Rottweiler in a bathroom, and left the house. ICE agent goes straight in to the bathroom in the hope of finding an illegal ... makes sense so far. But how does a big aggressive dog get from the bathroom, past the ICE agent, into the kitchen, where then the agent -- pursuing the dog? -- finally shoots it in self-defense?

It seems easier to believe that the dog wasn't contained as well as the son thought - maybe he left the door slightly ajar facing inward, and the dog clawed it open perceiving the son's agitation?

It doesnt really make sense from the standpoint the ICE was created to protect us from foreign threats. How much of a foreign threat these folks represent seems questionable.
