Lawsuit Claims Border Patrol Agent Fatally Shot Dog During Home Search in El Paso

A federal lawsuit has been filed against the U.S. government, alleging that a Border Patrol agent shot and killed a dog named Chop inside an El Paso residence during a search for undocumented migrants in September 2025. The complaint, brought by attorney Seth Daw, includes claims of assault, battery, and negligence, asserting that the agent entered the restroom without consent and shot the secured dog.
