"Border Patrol shoots and kills unarmed woman." It's federal immigration agents, not immigrants, who are the danger to public safety. americasvoice.org/press_releases…
Ur Jaddou, Director of DHS Watch, a project of @AmericasVoice: “It is outrageous that an unarmed, undoc women was shot in the head by an agent sworn to uphold law and justice. This incident must be thoroughly investigated and the agent must be held accountable."
"Moreover, it is time for CBP, and especially the Border Patrol, to be held accountable for multiple incidents of excessive use of force, abuse and corruption. CBP is the largest law enforcement agency in the country but fails even basic accountability. There is no excuse.”
A reminder that the federal government has paid out $60 MILLION to settle wrongful detention, assault, death claims at hands of border agents. dailykos.com/stories/2018/5…
The Guardian, earlier this yr: "The government has settled at least 20 wrongful death claims on behalf of CBP, paying more than $9m to the families of ppl killed since 2003, in incidents including shooting, beating, use of Tasers and collisions w/vehicles."
