An Arizona Border Patrol agent, facing criminal charges for hitting a migrant with a truck, sent text messages in which he referred to immigrants as “mindless, murdering savages.”
Border Patrol agents participate during a tour of U.S. Customs and Border Protection temporary holding facilities in El Paso, Texas on May 2, 2019.In one text to agent Lonnie Swartz, Bowen wrote, “mindless, murdering savages. PLEASE let us take the gloves off trump!”in the 2012 shooting death of Jose Antonio Rodríguez. Swartz has since returned to work for the agency, said Art Del Cueto, national vice president of the Border Patrol Council, the union that represents border agents.
In some texts, Bowen refers to immigrants, including the one he is accused of hitting, as a “tonk”.
“I did not mean to suggest it's common for Border Patrol to use racial slurs or insulting pejoratives,” Chapman said.
