Protesters March Against Border Patrol Brutality

Protesters marched from Larson Park in San Ysidro to the International Border Saturday, calling for justice for victims of what they say has been Border Patrol brutality.

They are fighting for all victims of brutality, but are focused on five specific families who say their loved ones were murdered by agents. 

Shana Gutierrez says her husband was beaten by the border patrol in 2011, but no one was ever charged.

"These brutalities need to stop,” Gutierrez says. β€œWe’re here demanding justice and saying you need to reopen these cases and do something about it. It's apparent we have an issue at the border, a big issue, a problem."

Gutierrez says her husband suffers from seizures now and is a completely different person since he was beaten.

Organizers of the march say in light of Tuesday's election results, they need to organize and fight.
