Cops become cops because they think they are above consequences. Everyone else thinks they're just scumbags.

In other news, water is wet, as anyone detained at Guantanamo Bay can readily attest

Who would have thought that a agency thats dedicated to treating vulnerable, displaced, often non-white people like criminals and less-thans would have a history of horrific abuse and exploitation!

I certainly did!

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The report, compiled by the Washington Office on Latin America (Wola) and the Kino Border Initiative (KBI), migrant rights advocacy groups, details a pattern of misuse of lethal force, intimidation, sexual harassment and falsifying documents.

The authors wrote: “The lack of accountability is so widespread that it helps cement in place a culture that enables human rights violations.

One migrant who filed a complaint after agents using a four-wheel vehicle hit him and ran over his leg, said: “Border patrol has the right to apprehend someone but in the proper way, not wrongfully.

Thanks be to God – he gave me the strength to endure and overcome what they did to me … People do not have to put up with border patrol’s abuses.

KBI tracked 78 complaints filed on behalf of migrants between 2010 and 2022, of which it said 95% led to no proper investigation or disciplinary action.

Wola maintains its own database of complaints of alleged abusive or improper conduct, currently including 409 cases.

Absolutely have to bust up DHS, it’s insane that the same agency that does TSA does border enforcement, split ice into INS and customs again

A fascist regime regularly abuses people, who would've thought!
