A retired Los Angeles police officer and U.S. Army veteran alleges she was sexually assaulted and unlawfully arrested by border agents at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry has filed a lawsuit against the federal government.
Janine Bouey alleges that on June 16, 2020, an officer pulled her out of the pedestrian lanes while she was trying to re-enter the United States from Tijuana, where she had undergone a dental appointment.
In a statement, a CBP spokesperson said,"As a matter of policy, CBP does not comment on matters under litigation. Lack of comment should not be construed as agreement or stipulation with any of the allegations." In the complaint, Bouey alleges she was initially approached by a male CBP officer whose tone"was flirtatious and pushy, and he pressed Ms. Bouey to give him her home address."When she refused, she alleges he pulled her out of line and into the main building at the port of entry.
She alleges the officers ignored her requests to look up her information in order to verify her citizenship.
