The Border: Human rights groups urge Congress to investigate Border Patrol's use of deadly force

Border Patrol: Human rights groups urge Congress to investigate Border Patrol's use of deadly force - latimes.com: "A coalition of immigrant and human rights groups Friday urged Congress to investigate the Border Patrol's use of deadly force against rock throwers along the U.S.-Mexico border, saying the frequency of such confrontations is disturbing and inhumane.

The request came three days after an agent in San Diego fatally shot a 40-year-old Tijuana man suspected of injuring an agent by throwing rocks and a nail-studded wooden board."
