(CNN) - At least one other social media group with an apparent nexus to Customs and Border Protection has been discovered to contain vulgar and sexually explicit posts, according to screenshots shared with two sources familiar with the Facebook pages.

The secret Facebook group, "The Real CBP Nation," which has around 1,000 members, is host to an image that mocks separating migrant families, multiple demeaning memes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, and other derisive images of Asians and African Americans.

A meme posted to a second secret CBP facebook group. CNN obscured parts of this image to protect the privacy of those depicted.

One meme posted following her Monday visit to a Texas border station depicts a manipulated image of her gesturing toward a water fountain with the caption "Is this a toilet?" Following her visit, Ocasio-Cortez charged that people were drinking water from a toilet at the station, an accusation that acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan has denied.

CNN obtained the images after a report published earlier this week of another secret Facebook group, called "I'm 10-15," for current and former Border Patrol agents that reportedly featured jokes about migrant deaths, derogatory comments about Latina lawmakers and a lewd meme involving at least one of them.

A meme of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted in a secret group said to be for Customs and Border Protection employees. CNN has blurred the image and removed identifying material.

3. Fire all current Border Patrol and Ice and start over....with new Border Agents

5. It takes at least 13 weeks to train them.

Plus Spanish if they don't have the language skill. I agree with the sentiment, but not practical.

6. The only This that's going to fix this problem

Is mass firings. Let’s start with their acting boss.

8. Disgusting...in any other business or the like (most normal businesses, not rump-related ...

businesses), they would fire the offenders immediately, doing idiotic stuff like this. It's not much of an additional step to go beyond the pale and start robbing, beating, etc. these immigrants ... they need to be treated with human dignity. These are disgusting human beings in the border patrol (hopefully not all of them)...

9. They all should be subject to immediate psychological testing

Those that fail should be immediately terminated for cause (unfitness for duty) and their pension contributions returned and their civil service retirement benefits revoked. They should be prosecuted if found to have violated the law in their treatment or handling of asylum seekers. Those who rank just above them as marginally fit, should be advised, in writing, of their performance shortcomings and given 30 days to improve or be fired.

Replacement agents should also be tested for psychological fitness and randomly re-tested at regular intervals to determine if they remain mentally fit for duty.

10. Does fucking Facebook have ANY responsibility???

I hope when Dems retake power they squash that Zuckerberg bug like a cockroach.

This shit needs to stop.

11. This stuff goes on privately without Facebook

Having it on Facebook gives investigators easier access, I imagine.
