Family of Indigenous Man Killed by Border Patrol Files Suit
Nearly a year to the day after an Indigenous Arizona man called police for help about alleged undocumented migrants trespassing on his property within tribal land and was killed by U.S. Border Patrol agents, the family has filed a lawsuit demanding action in their loved one’s untimely death.
On Friday, Raymond Mattia’s family insisted that Customs and Border Patrol take responsibility for the death they considered was unjustified.
In the lawsuit filed Thursday against the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Mattia family demanded justice for each member who was affected by their loved one’s death.
