A thick metal door with locks—which they threw, clank-clank-clank—separated the autistic boy from the rest of the decrepit building in Chesapeake, Virginia, just south of Norfolk.

The release of the more than 1-year old critical review done by the Police Executive Research Forum and commissioned by the agency comes after escalating pressure on Customs and Border Protection over dozens of use of force incidents that have not led to consequences or punishment for officers and agents involved in them.
