Border Patrol agent arrested for allegedly forcing women to undress during processing

A border patrol agent was detained by upstate New York authorities after it was allegedly demanded that several ladies reveal their chests in order to pass virtual immigration screening.

Shane Millan, 53, was charged with violating women’s constitutional right to be free from unjustified searches and was arraigned on these counts on Thursday in Syracuse. The Northern District of New York U.S. Attorney’s Office said that he is charged with four misdemeanor offenses.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York said that on three separate occasions, Millan ordered women seeking admission into the U.S. to undress and expose their bare chests over webcam while on a fourth occasion, a woman’s bra remained on. Each time, Millan allegedly lied to the women that the strip was part of protocol.

“Millan’s demands to see the victims’ breasts were for his own gratification,” the U.S. attorney’s office said in a statement.
