The committee report paints a picture of an organization rife with a violently abusive mentality toward the public, a sense of total impunity to revel in that abuse, and virtually zero accountability. The agencys Discipline Review Board found 60 cases of misconduct and ultimately recommended removal in 24 cases, but only two agents ultimately lost their jobs. Many others had their lesser recommended disciplinary actions reduced even further.
Its worth zeroing in on the specific cases, though, to get a sense of what is allowed at CBP. Many of these agents are still serving the public and policing people crossing the border.
The most high-profile findings in the ProPublica report were the revelations about multiple members sharing sexually violent images of Ocasio-Cortez. One of those agents, who shared a doctored image of Donald Trump sexually assaulting Ocasio-Cortez, was fired. But the other, who posted an image of a penis going through a fence and Ocasio-Cortez superimposed on the other side of the fence with the caption Lucky Illegal Immigrant Glory Hole Special Starring AOC, had his sanction reduced from dismissal to 60-day suspension with back pay.
In another case, an agent was recommended for removal after he posted an internal video of CBPs Tactical Unit that showed a group of migrants under pursuit, including a migrant fleeing and falling off a cliff to their death and an obscene comment about an unnamed member of Congress. The deciding official reduced the discipline to a 30-day suspension, the committee notes.
