A federal judge says the Border Patrol in Arizona violated court orders by failing to properly keep surveillance video pertaining to a lawsuit claiming the agency holds migrants in inhumane conditions. Judge David Bury partially granted a motion on Monday, March 13, to hold the Border Patrol's Tucson Sector in civil contempt over video files it was legally required to provide but which were irreparably damaged.(U.S. Border Patrol via AP, File) (AP)
