EL PASO, TX An American woman was humiliated and sexually assaulted for hours when she tried to re-enter the United States at a checkpoint manned by U.S. border patrol agents. Suspecting she had drugs inside her orifices, the federal agents detained her, chained her to a table, and subjected her to a series of invasive and traumatic cavity searches, finger penetration, scans and X-rays
all without a warrant. She was then billed for the services.
During the initial pat-down, an agent stuck a hand insider her waistband and pushed a finger in the crevice of Ms. Does buttocks. She was embarrassed and upset at the procedure.
Nothing was found after this invasive search. Not satisfied with the groping and finger penetration which produced no evidence of any crime Jane Doe was detained for even more invasive searches. She was re-dressed and her pant-cuffs were taped tightly to her legs. Nearly 2 hours after she pulled up to the checkpoint, CBP agents Portillo and Herrera hauled her away to University Medical Center of El Paso.
Still, the nightmare continued. She was again shackled to an exam table and ordered to spread her legs and endure a forced gynecological exam. A mortified Ms. Doe was within view of passersby in the hallway as she was fingered and probed by the doctors, with the agents gawking nearby.
