Border patrol agent admits to telling women to expose breasts to get into US, feds say

A Border Patrol agent in Syracuse, New York, has pleaded guilty to violating women's rights during the admission process into the United States. Shane Millan, 53, admitted to making multiple women expose their breasts to him via webcam as part of an unlawful request under the guise of official procedures.

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Millan's actions constituted deprivation of rights under color of law, violating the constitutional protection against unreasonable searches. During virtual processing, he instructed the victims to reveal their bare chests, falsely claiming that these demands were legitimate.

Millan acknowledged that his requests were not for any official purpose but were solely for his own gratification. His admitted misconduct not only compromised the dignity of the victims but also undermined the integrity of law enforcement procedures.

The case highlights serious misconduct within the Border Patrol and raises concerns about the safeguarding of individuals' rights during the admission process. Such behavior by an agent raises awareness of the potential abuses of power in immigration procedures.

Millian is set to be sentenced on July 7, facing a possible two-year prison term and a fine of up to $200,000 for his actions.
