Former Border Patrol Agent Pleads Guilty to Forcing Migrant Women to Expose Breasts

Shane Millan admitted to abusing his authority during virtual immigration processing sessions in 2023 for personal gratification.

Shane Millan, a former U.S. Border Patrol agent, pleaded guilty to two counts of deprivation of rights under color of law in federal court.
Millan coerced multiple women into exposing their breasts during virtual immigration processing sessions, falsely claiming it was required for entry into the U.S.
Incidents occurred in August 2023 while Millan processed migrants remotely from Wellesley Island, New York, including a case involving a woman with her infant child.
