A Border Patrol agent shot and killed 31-year-old Mexican national Isaias Sanchez Barbosa eight months ago in Starr County, claiming self-defense during a chaotic border crossing. Despite ongoing investigations by Texas DPS and CBP’s Office of Professional Responsibility — which have kept critical evidence like body cam footage sealed — the Starr County DA recently closed the criminal probe after a grand jury declined to indict. Though this case has flown under the radar, it echoes other recent fatal shootings by immigration agents that ignited national outcry over the use of deadly force and lack of transparency. No weapons were found at the scene, but autopsy reports confirm Sanchez Barbosa was hit with multiple close-range shots.
