People laughing is not proof that something is a joke. White people laughed at lynchings. Reporters calling this a joke don't know what a joke is and are offering an opinion favorable to Trump. 'It was a joke' is Trump's favorite defense. https://t.co/89Em9wYP9x

Vulnerable children.

Being forced to sleep outside.

On the ground.

On top of rocks.

In the dirt.

In CBP custody.

Dear members of ICE: “just following orders” is what nazis said during the Nuremberg trials. It is YOU who are doing these things. YOU are ripping children from their parents & holding them in cages. History will see that YOU carried out these crimes against humanity. YOU.

Protesters criticize excessive force by Border agents

NOGALES – Groups along the Border are protesting excessive force used by Border agents.

Richard Boren joined a small demonstration with the Border Patrol Victims Network near a port of entry in Nogales. It was organized to go along with a larger demonstration where a man was killed by Customs and Border Protection in San Diego.

“We’re here in solidarity to say that these agents have to be put on trial,” Boren said, “that there can’t be impunity for border patrol.”
