Here are the Supreme Court oral arguments in a case stems from the fatal shooting by a Border Patrol agent of an unarmed 15-year-old Mexican boy, Sergio Adrian Hernandez Guereca. At the time of the shooting, the Border Patrol agent was standing in the United States, while Sergio was located across the border in Mexico.

Sergio’s parents brought a Bivens action alleging that the Border Patrol agent is liable for using deadly force against Sergio in violation of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. The case presents questions regarding the extraterritorial application of the Constitution, as well as qualified immunity and the availability of Bivens remedies, similar to those in Rodriguez v. Swartz, a cross-border shooting case being litigated by the ACLU and pending in the Ninth Circuit.
