A spokesman for the U.S. Border Patrol said they are investigating a physical attack and harassment claim from a Bowie High School student. 

The teen did not want to be identified for his own safety, and said that one afternoon in November after walking home with a friend  toward Bowie High on Delta Drive a border patrol agent came up from behind and placed him in a chokehold as the agent pressed his gun to the back of  his head.

"I couldn't do anything because after that he pulled a gun and pointed it at the back of my head. And from there I just panicked and I just started to answer what he was saying. The first question he asked me was if I was a wetback," said the 17-year-old.

The Bowie student says he did not hear the border patrol agent until he was being tackled to the ground because he had on his earphones and hoodie.

"I thought I was going to die that day," the teenager said.

The day after the ordeal, the student reported his story to a school instructor and a group of students. The group then discovered there was another seniorwho claimed he had also been harassed by a group of agents while walking through the school's soccer field.

"My friend David was walking through the field and the agents drew their guns on him. He just raised his arms in the air," said the Bowie student.

A spokeswoman for the border patrol tells KFOX News that the incident on Delta Drive, back in November is being investigated. 

"This is an ongoing investigation right now between the border patrol and the family of the student - and the student as well," said Venessa Martinez, spokeswoman for the U.S. Border Patrol, El Paso Division.

This is not the first allegation of harassment and violation of civil rights reported. Back in 1992 Bowie High School filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Border Patrol. In the early 90s there were reports of student and staff concerns over border patrol presence and activities on school grounds. The lawsuit restricted their presence at Bowie for some time.

"That was the case back in 1992 -- however that is not the case anymore. That junction does not stand anymore," said Martinez.

According to the Bowie sophomore, a U.S. Border Patrol, internal affairs agent visited his home and spoke with his parents. Yet there is concern by the teen's family, that the agent will only be suspended for a few days without further consequences for his improper action that is seen as an injustice for the local community.
