IT’S THE DOCUMENTARY HBO DOESN’T WANT YOU TO SEE. A shocking new film, “Critical Incident: Death at the Border,” exposes a MURDER and SYSTEM-WIDE COVER-UP by U.S. Border Patrol agents that leads to the VERY TOP of the agency. And now, insiders are accusing HBO of DELIBERATELY BURYING the explosive footage to avoid angering the Trump White House and jeopardizing a multi-billion dollar corporate merger.

The film uncovers the HORRIFYING 2010 death of Anastasio Hernández Rojas, an immigrant brutally beaten and TASERED TO DEATH by more than a dozen agents near San Diego. While the coroner ruled it a homicide, NO ONE was ever criminally charged. Reporter John Carlos Frey, who pursued the story for 15 years, discovers footage that CONTRADICTS the official story and exposes a secretive Border Patrol unit tasked with “mitigating” use-of-force incidents—a unit that a whistleblower claims was ORDERED TO DOCTOR EVIDENCE to protect the agency.

The cover-up allegedly leads directly to Rodney Scott, then a top Border Patrol official and later the agency’s commissioner. In the documentary, Scott dismisses the allegations. A DHS spokesperson called the film “slanderous.” But the TRUTH is too explosive to ignore.

Yet, HBO released the film on December 29—a notorious “dump” date when audiences are distracted. It’s HIDDEN on their streaming platform, not promoted like their other hits. Director Rick Rowley called the date “difficult,” but Frey is BLUNT: “If I was an executive and released it on that date, I would be fired.” He points to Netflix’s proposed $82.7 BILLION acquisition of HBO’s parent company, Warner Bros., suggesting executives are AFRAID to antagonize President Trump, who has championed the Border Patrol’s expanded power.

An HBO spokesperson denies this, but the facts scream otherwise. This film was ready before the 2024 election and was HELD BACK even as Border Patrol agents conducted raids in American cities. Now, as armed agents patrol our neighborhoods, the public is being DENIED the truth about an agency operating with brutal impunity.

This isn’t just a story about a buried documentary. It’s a SCATHING indictment of corporate cowardice and state-sanctioned violence, suggesting that some stories are too dangerous for the powerful to allow you to watch. The hand that controls the narrative controls reality—and they’ve decided yours will be a lie.
