U.S. Border Patrol agent Jesus Mesa Jr. shot down a 15-year-old Mexican boy named Sergio Adrian Hernandez-Guereca in 2010, alleging that the boy threw a rock at him. Attorney Robert Hilliard, the lawyer for the victim's family, stated that there was no proof that Hernandez-Guereca threw a rock at the agent, and continues to press on with a lawsuit after U.S. prosecutors chose not to charge Mesa in the wrongful death of the teenager. The teenager's death was witnessed by 25 civilian witnesses and law enforcement officials.
Speedy Gonzales, with an exaggerated Mexican accent, somehow strayed away from his animators' racist intentions to become a symbol and an icon to Hispanics in the U.S.
