A distraught family reported that a Border Patrol agent unjustifiably shot and killed their dog. The agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. The unidentified family is looking to pursue legal action and expressed concern that something like this could happen to other families. The father, who wished to remain anonymous, said Border Patrol agents in jeans and t-shirts showed up at his son's home looking for migrants after receiving an anonymous tip tied to the previous owners of the home, who lived there two years ago. The son answered the door and, while he permitted the agents to search his home, he asked if they could wait first while he put the family dog, Chop, a Rottweiler, in the bathroom before they walked in, as the dog could be aggressive. The family stressed that the agents knew, the son had told them, that Chop was put in the bathroom for their safety. Nevertheless, the agents opened the door, let Chop out, and then shot him.
