An excessive force case against a Border Patrol agent goes to trial this week, the San Diego Union Tribune reports.
Agent Luis E. Fonesca is accused of kicking and choking an unauthorized immigrant until he was unconscious.
Prosecutors say they have a videotape that proves their case.
Fonesca has pleaded not guilty to a count of deprivation of rights under color of the law.
