U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Fisher said his agency is unfairly criticized for using excessive force, the Associated Press reports.
Fisher said it’s a mischaracterization to describe his employees as “indiscriminately” opening fire on immigrants.
“If you are like me, there’s nothing more terrifying than fighting for your life when you’re alone with no communication, and the thought for a split second that you may never get home at the end of that shift to see your wife and son again,” Fisher said. “The only thing that is equal to the ripple of fear is thinking of having to use deadly force against another human being.”
Fisher was speaking at the annual Border Security Expo in Phoenix.
