A new U.S. Supreme Court ruling likely slams the door on the ability of the family of a teen killed by a Border Patrol agent in Nogales to sue him and, by extension, the federal government.

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to decide whether Border Patrol agents can be sued by the survivors of those who they shoot and kill on the other side of the border.

The federal government has given up on its last chance of trying to convict a Border Patrol agent for the 2012 shooting and killing a teen by firing through the border fence.
