US Border Patrol agent pleads guilty to forcing immigrant women to expose their bre@st while processing paperwork
A U.S. Border Patrol agent has admitted to forcing several immigrant women to expose their breasts while processing their paperwork during their entry into the country in 2023.
Shane Millan, 53, pleaded guilty to two counts of deprivation of rights under color of law, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Northern District of New York said in a statement last week.
At the time of the crime, Millan was stationed on Wellesley Island in northern New York State when he was tasked with remotely processing immigrants entering the U.S. through the southern border.
After one woman put her baby on the floor to expose her breasts he said “Welcome to the USA.” He also ordered another woman to expose her breasts after first asking her husband & children to leave the room.
In pleading guilty today, Millan admitted that, while acting under color of law as a Border Patrol Agent, he willfully deprived multiple victims of their constitutional right to be free from unreasonable searches when, during virtual processing concerning their admission to the United States, he commanded the victims to expose their bare chests to him via webcam.

Millan further admitted that he told these women that his requests were for legitimate searches incident to admission into the United States. Still, he knew his demands to see the victims’ breasts were for his gratification.
Millan is scheduled to be sentenced by United States Magistrate Judge Thérèse Wiley Dancks on July 7, 2025. At sentencing, he faces up to two years imprisonment and a fine of up to $200,000.
