This is a travesty. There must be consequences. They are asylum seekers.

This should not be acceptable treatment for anyone, but that they are asylum seekers adds such a hideous dimension to it.
“One man said he was pepper-sprayed in the eyes and strangled.

So anyway this is lazy recycled disinformation that first appeared on exactly the same janky sites five years ago, word for word, and no one has learned anything at all, and that's why all your friendly neighborhood debunkers have gone grey since 2016, the end
Don't get me wrong, I would also love to leave this shitty version of the first episode of Sliders

I remember all of these stories very well because of the extremely hilarious "large hardon collider" typos I kept seeing

He is one of the many “population control” ecofash maniacs who have infiltrated the U.S. government. He and his networks have a long history with #TantonNetwork groups — who are proponents of “passive eugenics” to depopulate the planet — such as FAIR
They have entered the U.S. government specifically to enact a goal of soft or passive eugenics with depopulation as a goal. They focus on immigration because they think Latin Americans breed too much and have an inferior culture (just the one), and to bring around liberals.

Extremely useless observation but Betelgeuse is one of my favorite stars. I wrote a poem about all the stars in Orion as a kid. Plus it's fun to say
So come a little closer BG, you can sit with me at lunch
I just discovered Betelgeuse means "Orion's armpit" and I sure wish I had known that when I was writing that 4th grade poem because I'm just absolutely delighted

That declaration was not by a group of scientists. It was a lie. It was a sham. It was disinformation.
CLAIMS.
This was the brainchild of an economic think tank headed by an “Austrian school” adherent and it has a history of climate change denial. Plus, the list is bullshit! Shame on you for normalizing this hideous disinformation during a pandemic @abc
