Mexico blasts U.S. for not filing charges in border patrol death

Mexico on Friday voiced its "most energetic rejection" of the decision by U.S. authorities to not press charges against border patrol agents suspected of killing a Mexican national near a California border crossing in 2010.

Anastasio Hernández suffered electric shocks and was beaten despite being forced to the ground, unarmed and surrounded by eight agents, Mexico's Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The decision not to file criminal charges in the case was announced by the U.S. Justice Department earlier on Friday.
