'Border patrol agents are denying people the rights of which they are legally entitled.'
According to The Washington Post, “[f]ederal officials are investigating whether agents participated in a private Facebook group for Border Patrol employees that hosted racist, sexist and sexually violent memes about immigrants and officials such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after a report by the investigative site ProPublica.”
ADVERTISEMENT Members took to the group when it was reported that representatives Veronica Escobar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were visiting a camp. '“One member encouraged Border Patrol agents to hurl a 'burrito at these bitches.' Another, apparently a patrol supervisor, wrote, 'Fuck the hoes.
"In that last facility, I was not safe from the officers in that facility," Ocasio-Cortez said Monday afternoon. She also mentions that female migrants had said that they were told to drink out of the toilet due to the lack of clean running water. Ocasio-Cortez also higlighted that some migrants who have crossed cannot speak English or Spanish, speaking indigenous languages such as K'iche', and therefore, have been unable to communicate.
Officials for border patrol have spoken out against the groups, claiming that this group is not reflective of their values, but it’s pretty clear that there is a toxic and abusive work culture, more than just the few bad seeds that the government would like us to believe.
