メキシコとアメリカの国境で、16歳のメキシコ人の少年が持っていた液体のメタンフェタミンのボトルが本当にジュースなんだったら飲んでみろと国境検査官にいわれて飲んだところ急性中毒になって死亡するという事件が2013年にありました。メキシコの少年の家族は、検査官らに子供を殺されたとして訴えていましたが、検査官らは少年が自分から進んで飲んだのだと説明していました。このたび、そのときの様子を記録したセキュリティカメラの映像が公開され、検査官が少年に”ジュース”を飲むように指示しているように見えたことから、物議を醸しています。

Cruz Velazquez:亡くなった16歳のメキシコの少年
Valerie Baird（女性）、Adrian Perallon（男性）：二人の職員
While video of the encounter shows that both officers made hand gestures that seemed to encourage Velazquez to drink from one of the bottles, during their depositions, both officers denied under oath that they had done anything wrong.
Perallon blamed Velazquez: “I never suggested or asked him to drink,” he said. “He volunteered to drink.”
But Baird blamed Perallon: “He proposed to me that he should ask Cruz if he would be willing to take a drink,” she said. “He said he does it all the time in primary, and I said, ‘If that’s what you want to do.’” Perallon denied this interaction took place.
Nina Signorello, the officer who tried to help Velazquez while he was in the security office and later drove Baird to the hospital, provided what Iredale considers the key piece of evidence, testifying that Baird was initially worried that she would lose her job if someone ultimately blamed her.
“Oh my God, I asked him to drink it,” Baird said, according to Signorello’s testimony. Baird denied that, saying her fellow officer must have “misunderstood.” （Video reveals how actions of US border officers led to tragedy. ABC NEWS）
