The Southern Border Communities Coalition, a network of organizations in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas sent a letter to Congress, “To sound the alarm on the dangerous overreach of the illegal operation of U.S. Border Patrol’s unlaw Critical Incident Teams.”

Attorney Andrea Guerrero representing Alliance San Diego said, “These agents have been allowed to get away with everything including murder for the last 35 years.”

Guerrero said the alleged corruption of the so-called shadow police units was brought to light recently because of a San Diego case that happened years ago.

Latest Coronavirus Updates: County Reports 549 Cases, 29 Deaths
In May 2010, Anastasio Hernandez Rojas died at the hands of border patrol agents at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.

An eyewitness video showed he was beaten and tasered by border patrol agents while handcuffed and on the ground. None of the 12 agents were criminally charged, and Guerrero said that is because the border patrol’s Critical Incident Teams covered up and even destroyed evidence.

The letter asks Congress to investigate the Rojas case and others in which these teams had access to evidence, and the potential to tamper with it.

:stare: While its not suprising these exist, its still eye opening.

Devastating ProPublica investigative piece on a Chicago shelter for Afghan child refugees:

Maybe people don't want to discuss it with you, that's a very real possibility. Nobody engaged with my post in there either.

That could very well be the case! I wasn't alleging a conspiracy; your post reminded me that I found this story at least as newsworthy as Mike Pompeo's current skin tone & weight when I came across it.

I also had a question for lawyers in the post above yours, and legal questions usually elicit responses in dnd.

eta: Thanks for bumping this thread to page 1, though!

Yeah, I think it DOES need to be discussed. Hope bumping it helped.

The article speaks for itself, but apparently I have to provide commentary.

Joe Biden's policies vis a vis the Border are materially identical to Trump's.

Pretty much, although Texas has also taken it upon themselves to make it somehow even worse.
