In texts to his fellow Border Patrol agents, Matthew Bowen frequently referred to undocumented immigrants in racist and violent terms.
A US Border Patrol agent called migrants"subhuman" and"mindless murdering savages" in a text message before hitting one with a truck, according to court records.
During the December 2017 incident, Bowen allegedly twice ran his truck into a 23-year-old Guatemalan man who officers said they had seen hopping the border fence in Nogales, Arizona. Bowen is also accused of lying about the incident in a memo to his chief patrol agent, in which he allegedly claimed he was unfamiliar with the braking and acceleration power of the truck and didn't know he hit him.
"If I had to tackle the tonk I would still be doing memos and shit. I wonder how they expect us to apprehend wild ass runners who don’t want to be apprehended?" Bowen said in another text to a fellow agent a few days after the incident.
