A 15-year-old girl from Honduras describes a large, bearded officer putting his hands inside her bra, pulling down her underwear, and groping her as part of what was meant to be a routine pat down in front of other immigrants and officers. nbcnews.to/2LbfbGP
"U.S. Customs and Border Protection treats those in our custody with dignity and respect...The allegations do not align with common practice at our facilities and will be fully investigated," a CBP spokesperson said in a statement on the Yuma allegations nbcnews.to/2LbfbGP
Children said officers would get angry if they asked for anything. One child wore soiled underwear for the 10 days he was in the border station because he was afraid to ask officers for a clean pair, according to one report nbcnews.to/2LbfbGP

Happening now at #IRE19:

@lehrennbc joins @mariajpsl and @DanielConnolly to discuss immigration coverage and how immigration policies are playing out across the country.
@lehrennbc @mariajpsl @DanielConnolly .@lehrennbc discusses his @NBCNews report on a trove of government documents that shed light on the widespread use of solitary confinement for immigrant detainees in ICE custody under both the Obama and Trump admins.

Learn more: nbcnews.to/30APDY0
@lehrennbc @mariajpsl @DanielConnolly Half of the cases involved punishment for rule violations, @lehrennbc explains.

The other half were unrelated to disciplinary concerns — involving the mentally ill, the disabled, or others sent to solitary largely for what ICE described as safety reasons. nbcnews.to/2Ij5OC8

"A 15-year-old girl from Honduras described a large, bearded officer putting his hands inside her bra, pulling down her underwear and groping her as part of what was meant to be a routine pat down in front of other immigrants and officers."
"The girl said "she felt embarrassed as the officer was speaking in English to other officers and laughing" during the entire process, according to a report of her account."
Which reminds me of Christine Blasey Ford's quote: "Indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter."

DOJ IG Is Preparing to Deliver Verdict on the Russia Inv’n

Steele interviewed by IG & found Steels Dossier CREDIBLE.

So much so THEY WILL EXTEND HIS INV’N.

This is HUGE and blows GOP talking points outta the water.

BTW Steele did the FiFA Inv’n —it’s connected.
🌀Insanity2🌀

Why Steele chose RU mob expert Bruce Ohr as FBI liaison:

Finally, the FBI agent spoke. No deal, he said;

Mogilevich must surrender.

BRUCE OHR said little, but his unwillingness to negotiate was signal enough:

The DOJ would not compromise with the Russian mafia.
🌀Insanity3🌀

Epstein: “bounty hunter,” recovering lost or stolen money for the gov’t or the wealthy.

“Mogilevich↔️Robert Maxwell↔️Ghislaine Maxwell↔️Epstein↔️Bear Sterns↔️Felix Sater”

“Epstein ➡ Leon Black ➡ Apollo Global Mgmt ➡ CIM ➡ Macklowe ➡ TrumpSoho ➡ Sater/Arif”

1) Border militias are back in the news, thanks to the most recent incident in which they have detained border crossers.

dailykos.com/stories/2019/4…
2) Where did these border militias come from? What are they really about? And why do they have such a history of criminality and death attached to them?

Long thread follows.
3) The idea of a “citizens border watch” grew out of the longtime embrace by the radical right of vigilante violence, a la the Ku Klux Klan. Indeed, the very first such operation was organized in 1977-79 by David Duke and Tom Metger.
