Feinstein calls on Border Patrol to review pursuit tactics after L.A. Times-ProPublica investigation
Sen. Dianne Feinstein on Friday called on the U.S. Border Patrol to review its actions during high-speed car chases, weeks after an investigation by ProPublica and the Los Angeles Times found the agency’s pursuit tactics and policies were long out of date and had grown increasingly deadly in recent years.
Feinstein cited the fact that Border Patrol chases have resulted in 22 deaths and 250 injuries from 2015 to 2018, figures first revealed as part of the analysis by ProPublica and The Times. The agency’s pursuit policy “has led to catastrophic and unwarranted results,” she wrote.
