This just broke: a secret Facebook group of 9,500 CBP officers discussed making a GoFundMe for officers to harm myself & Rep. Escobar during our visit to CBP facilities & mocked migrant deaths.

This isn’t about “a few bad eggs.” This is a violent culture.

Members of a secret Facebook group for current and former Border Patrol agents joked about the deaths of migrants, discussed throwing burritos at Latino members of Congress visiting a detention facility in Texas on Monday and posted a vulgar illustration depicting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez engaged in oral sex with a detained migrant, according to screenshots of their postings.

Customs and Border Patrol has announced it is launching an investigation.

"Any employees found to have violated our standards of conduct will be held accountable." — US Border Patrol Chief

1. Well-funded, well-organized, and armed to the teeth.

WHO or WHAT will tell these fuckers to STAND DOWN

[FiveGoodMen]

5. If our military is loyal to democracy and the Constitution, they could help

[Leghorn21]

8. Who would give them their orders, Five? The...Pentagon, the Joint Chiefs of Staff?

Honest questions

Could a judge send in Federal Marshals to arrest and detain these animals?

Something’s gotta give here - stories about the camps are increasing rapidly, and now that this cache of vermin has been exposed, will something come of it now?

Mercy, this is - it’s time for this situation to BLOW WIDE OPEN

[fescuerescue]

10. Of course

Just need someone to file the charges.

They are not exempt from law enforcement.

[Leghorn21]

12. Thanks, fes, then I will buck up and wait for this to happen since it sure as hell is time it did!!!

Thank you

[FiveGoodMen]

11. I don't know. I said they COULD help, not that they will.

But the way things are going, they may have to decide when it's treason, because no one else will.

[Leghorn21]

13. Yeah, we're at the boiling point now, Five - if the right orders are given to the right people, MAN,

what a glorious thing that would be

Thank you

[Duppers]

25. "Could a judge send in Federal Marshals to arrest....

"...and detain these animals?

They should at least try.

[Chemisse]

2. Omg - they need to be fired from their jobs, and more.

The culture of hate needs to be stopped.

6. What is upsetting to me is these fools felt safe

within their ranks to talk like that in the belief that none of their colleagues would go public to expose their behavior.

I am going to send my good vibes to the one who decided to turn them in.

[trueblue2007]

18. LOCK THEM UP. 25 YEARS ..... NO PAROLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

22. +1,

[iemitsu]

3. This is despicable.

Can you imagine a group of retired teachers having a facebook page to make fun of kids who get bullied in school?
No? Because it wouldn't happen.
What is wrong with these people?

[Generic Other]

4. They would be fired

This is way worse than the "lovers" at the FBI writing personal emails mocking Trump.

[Eugene]

7. This is a firing offense in any responsible law enforcement agency.

I'm afraid the MF45 Administration not only will exuse them from discipline but will also cheer these "very fine people" on.

[malaise]

9. These are the people's elected representatives

The Democratic Party at all levels should make serious noise about this and take serious action

[Hekate]

14. KnR

[C_U_L8R]

15. And these hateclowns think their secret FB site is actually secret.

As dumb as they are despicable. Cages are too good for these assholes.

16. Probably got a degree from Trump University

"A college degree is not a set requirement for entering into a career as a border patrol agent..." per CBP.

[shanti]

17. Who takes these BP jobs anyway?

Oh right, THESE kind of people!

[47of74]

20. washouts from police and prison guard academies

[dchill]

19. "I was just following orders."

[ancianita]

21. "launching an investiation" and "held accountable" my ass. Don't make us laugh.

[leftieNanner]

23. I believe that this answers my question

About what kind of person would be OK with the conditions in these concentration camps.

[SunSeeker]

24. K & R for exposure.

[Gothmog]

26. K&R

27. AOC not just threatened on facebook but also on her tour of the camps...

30. Great for AOC for exposing this.

I really fear for her safety though. I think that these scumbags need to be made an example of.

[Initech]

29. Calling these pieces of shit "deplorable" is an understatement.

They need to be fired and arrested for threatening and harassing a member of Congress now!

31. Just having that discussion is Conspiracy, and those reading the posts are complicit if looked away.
