Sen. Dianne Feinstein called on the U.S. Border Patrol to review its actions during high-speed car chases, weeks after a ProPublica and Los Angeles Times investigation on the agency’s pursuit tactics and policies.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein is asking U.S. Border Patrol to review its policies regarding high-speed car chases.
Reporters from both publications mined more than 9,000 federal criminal complaints filed against suspected human smugglers from 2015 to 2018 to build a database about Border Patrol pursuits and tactics. The documents described agents’ reasons for initiating a pursuit, whether there was a crash and how it happened. The database is almost certainly an undercount, as it does not include cases in which the driver got away or died, because the complaints are filed only after arrests.
In her letter, Feinstein cited three chases that left seven people, including a child, dead in San Diego County in 2017 and 2018. She also asked Sanders whether Border Patrol’s pursuit policies are in line with what the U.S. Department of Justice considers to be best practices regarding car chases.
