Deming is close to the border, so there may have been something going on that prompted this.

That said, it’s insane. Basically there’s no justification for any of this. We can take you prisoner, knock you out and operate on you, just on suspicion?

Think he just rang the gong on a million dollar payday.

That should pretty much bankrupt Deming. It’s a tiny, dusty place.

I read the entire filed complaint.

Perhaps, just perhaps, law enforcement may come to understand that there are reasons behind the loss of the public's trust.

Well, if it was federal, they don’t prosecute cases that don’t have sufficient weight of contraband involved. Way more than you can stuff up your butt. A Customs or ICE connection to this would have protocols for body carriers that don’t resemble this.

Remember those folks way back when... the ones who were mocked and derided for claiming that they had been abducted by aliens (complete with probes and medical procedures)? Looks like they had received visions of the future!!!

Deming is an incorporated town. The money will be paid by an insurance company and recouped over time by increased insurance rates for Deming which will be paid for by increased taxes or “fees” like sewer and water. It is no skin off the noses of the officers and officials involved. If the people involved had to do some prison time then it might make other officials think twice. Won’t happen. I do hope the doctors who did this are big targets in the lawsuit.
