Internal document shows CBP protected agent involved in racist and violent Facebook group from firing.

“In one case, an employee who was recommended for removal had their penalty reduced to a seven-day suspension."

dailykos.com/stories/2020/7… #DefundCBP
Only four out of nearly 140 border agents investigated for their membership in a Facebook group that mocked the death of a migrant child in custody and shared other violent content were fired: dailykos.com/stories/2020/7… #DefundCBP
A DHS advisory council subcommittee in 2015 noted the unprecedented corruption among CBP agents, finding that “arrests for corruption of CBP personnel far exceed, on a per capita basis, such arrests at other federal law enforcement agencies." propublica.org/article/border… #DefundCBP
"Every yr, approximately 250 CBP employees are arrested, many on suspicion of serious felonies; dozens have been jailed in recent yrs on corruption charges ...

During the Obama yrs, critics decried a series of incidents in which Border Patrol agents shot civilians..." #DefundCBP
ProPublica in 2019: "[E]ach yr the agency 'receives and reviews hundreds of allegations' of excessive force. This year, CBP paid $125,000 to settle a lawsuit alleging a Border Patrol agent groped the breasts and genitals of two teenage Guatemalan girls detained in TX." #DefundCBP
Advocates described CBP's oversight system "as a black hole, a vortex in which serious complaints are ignored or lost, simple investigations drag on for yrs, and victims are barred from learning whether employees who’ve harmed them have been sanctioned in any way." #DefundCBP

"For all her stage success, Ms. Lansbury would capture the biggest audience of her career in 1984, when she was cast as Jessica Fletcher, the mystery writer and amateur sleuth, on the CBS series 'Murder, She Wrote.'" nytimes.com/2022/10/11/art…
"'We were getting condolences even before we went on the air,' Richard Levinson, one of the show’s creators, recalled. 'At best, we hoped that it would be a marginal success.'

Instead, the show became a huge hit."
"Though she never won an Oscar or an Emmy, Ms. Lansbury received an honorary award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2013 for creating 'some of cinema’s most memorable characters' and 'inspiring generations of actors.'"

"Fuming over the civil rights movement, Southern segregationists had concocted a way to retaliate against Northern liberals. In 1962, they tricked about 200 African Americans from the South into moving north." wamu.org/story/20/02/29…
"The Reverse Freedom Rides have largely disappeared from the country’s collective memory. The scheme almost never appears in history books and is little-known even in Hyannis, the primary target of the ploy."

"Maria Praeli ... said she and others spoke candidly to Biden about their concerns and about worries their fates could be upended by a TX court if Congress doesn’t act.

'Our lives have been in limbo for far too long,' Praeli said." #HomeIsHere #HereToStay

“She'd always say, 'I'm a diva, I'm a bitch, I'm an icon, I'm a legend, and I'm your history,' Gutierrez-Mock recalled.”
“Ms. Elizondo frequented Compton's Cafeteria, which was part of a chain of eateries owned by Gene Compton, located at 101 Taylor at Turk Street in San Francisco, from the 1940s to the 1970s.”
“In 1966, there was a riot at Compton's, when the LGBTQ community came together to defy discrimination. The riots took place three years before the more famous Stonewall riot in New York City.”

Rep. Raúl Grijalva reintroduces bill ensuring overtime pay for excluded farmworkers.

@UFWPresident: “It is hard to believe the overtime exclusion still persists 83 years later for the men and women that feed America." ufw.org/overtimeintrod…

dailykos.com/stories/2021/0…
UFW: "Agricultural workers were written out of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which granted overtime to nearly all other American workers, when Southern segregationist lawmakers did not hide their bigoted motivation ..."
"... arguing white and African American workers could not be paid the same and that extending farm workers overtime pay would lead to the end of racial discrimination."

Detention Watch Network further said in a report last year that "ICE’s failure to release people from detention during the pandemic added over 245,000 cases to the total U.S. caseload": detentionwatchnetwork.org/sites/default/…
Detention Watch Network: "Throughout the pandemic, ICE failed to provide adequate supplies of soap and PPE to people in detention and to detention center staff. Testing was inadequate and irregular."
"In at least one detention facility—the Mesa Verde ICE Processing Center in Bakersfield, California—ICE purposefully rejected universal testing because it would be too difficult to quarantine all detained people who may test positive."
