And then there was the case of Ezequiel Hernandez.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezequiel_Hernandez
Esequiel Hernández Jr was an 18-year-old U.S. citizen and high school student killed on May 20, 1997 by Marines on the United States–Mexico border in Redford, Texas. He was herding some goats, but the Marines thought he was some kind of smuggler.
I'd be curious how this incident changed (if any) the sort of rules of engagement the U.S. military operates under down on the border.
