A 23-year-old woman was detained at a Border Patrol checkpoint on State Route 94 near Dulzura and charged with assaulting a federal officer after agents accused her of pushing an agent and throwing a punch. Body camera footage showed agents had found no evidence of criminal activity, falsely told her they discovered 'deleted evidence' on her phone, twisted her arm behind her back when she reached for it, and Tasered her as she turned to enter a holding cell. The Taser prong struck her breast, and her breastmilk was laden with blood for weeks afterward. Federal prosecutors dismissed the charge in August 2025. Her case is one of 22 assault-on-federal-officer cases filed in San Diego during Trump's second term, 10 of which were dismissed, a 45% dismissal rate compared to 8% during Biden's final year in office.
