Anastacio Hernandez came to the United States when he was 15, lived there until he was 42 years-old as an undocumented immigrant. He had five children with his common-law wife, Maria Puga. He was deported to Mexico, following an arrest on May 2010 by the San Diego Police for attempting to "shoplift steak and tequila from a grocery store." During a failed attempt to reunite with his family in the United States later in the same year, Hernandez was caught by border agents at the San Diego–Tijuana border. Witnesses filmed agents who handcuffed Hernandez, broke five of his ribs and damaged his spine. He died following the brutal beating. One of the bystanders, Ashley Young, hid the video card in her pocket when the border police approached the crowd demanding the recordings. Seven years after the incident, the agents had not been disciplined or fired. In February 2017, the United States settled a million-dollar lawsuit with Puga and her children who were represented by attorney Eugene Iredale.
