Yeah. Told you -- @CBP lies.
My issue with all of these entities was never political, it was never some ideological bullshit. It was that these are people who have power over the vulnerable who have badly abused that power. I want transparency, accountability, and justice -- for everyone.
Well I guess that is ideological but it wasn't some ill-considered reactionary ideology; it was formed over years in the dusty borderlands, standing in line to cross back from Mexico to the USA, talking to people and families with so many physical and psychological scars
Hanging around Tijuana's few and bare shelters crammed with people going and coming -- people waiting for asylum, people recently deported -- meeting the United States military veterans who had been expelled from the country, people who had been bought and sold on the streets...
...talking to U.S. citizen kids with deported parents who crossed the border every single day just to go to school, talking to asylum-seekers missing arms and legs from injuries they received in a desperate trek to the border to escape the profound violence around them...
anyway you get the idea.
