Friday, U.S. #BorderPatrol Agent Jauregui stood in the middle of the road at Scheurbach (Butterfly Park Dr) & Military, to create his own immigration checkpoint. There, he blocked our staff, in the company vehicle, from passing. 🧵
He stopped & questioned them about their citizenship, jobs, etc. You have to love the way this Mexican-American agent assumes our employees must be "janitors." Although we have egregious interactions with USBP agents often, staff was surprised by this action; for that reason, >
all of the agent's actions & questions were not caught by them, but they will be from now on. However, Agent Jauregui was wearing a body camera. We are waiting to see whether his watch commander will confirm that, as well as our experience--but we're not holding our breath >
b/c they are typically unresponsive & dishonest.
Like most of the USBP agents we deal with, this one lied & made things up. For example, the "helicopters" are not flying around monitoring what agents are doing in the field... When our executive director confronted Jauregui, >

he denied stopping the vehicle, asserting the interaction occurred b/c staff stopped for the posted stop sign. When asked why he got out of his car, he admitted he was already out of his vehicle--B/C HE WAS STANDING IN THE ROAD IMPEDING TRAFFIC TO FACILITATE HIS MISCONDUCT. >
This was not a righteous stop; it was an abuse of authority. Although he initiated conduct w/our employees, Jauregui tried to refuse to communicate w/ our director; then lied & said his supervisory agent was Tony Crane, who has not been in that position for at least 2 mos. >
#HonorFirstIsALie This was an UNLAWFUL checkpoint. The agent had no specific facts about our staff that made it reasonable to believe they were committing or committed, a violation of immigration law or federal law, as the law says agents must.
If Agent Jaurequi had decided to further abuse his authority, what might he have done? Since the #SCOTUS overturned BIVENS, we have to fear physical harm UP TO MURDER by these federal agents & they will not be held criminally or civilly liable. >
PLUS, the USBP still operates illegal crime #coverup teams called the #BPCIT Border Patrol Critical Incident Teams, which now function under falsely named "Office of Professional Responsibility." dhs.gov/publication/re…
Even as news & lawsuits concerning the agency continue to come out, @POTUS refuses to do anything about the fact that Green is the new Brown. #BrownShirts #AmericanGestapo #BadHombres texastribune.org/2022/12/02/tex…
