Since 2010, Border Patrol agents have killed over 231 people by shooting, choking, tasing, chasing, or beating them to death. Not a single agent in the 90 year history of the agency has ever been convicted of an on-duty killing.

The ongoing violence and impunity of border agents must stop, which is why my colleagues @SBCCoalition and I are determined to bring meaningful accountability and reform to Border Patrol, the nation’s largest law enforcement agency. https://t.co/rz3GXPhVGC via @viceworldnews

Absolutely wild that in the span of two years, using Title 42 to weasel out of humanitarian obligations went from Stephen Miller’s wildest dream to something the liberal governor of New York takes a victory lap for promoting. Trump lost, but Miller won https://t.co/Fkh18wTfHc

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis defended flying migrant families to Martha’s Vineyard this week and said he plans to spend millions that Florida has budgeted to continue the controversial practice.

What do you call someone who sends people across state lines with promises of work and opportunity, who, because of their desperation, are likely to go along with the scheme?

Ron DeSantis is a human trafficker.

Moroccan border forces are funded by the EU. When they carry out a massacre of 37 people on the EU’s borders, the EU bears responsibility. And we have a responsibility to call it out. It is not an accident. #MelillaMassacre

Spanish media reported that they killed only 30 Africans. A blatant lie

Over 200 Africans were killed. It is so sad that Morocco was part of this

If they weren’t Africans the world would be at a standstill

No one can seriously think the richest nation ever just has to put people in these conditions. This is a choice.

There’s a whole world system of terror and exploitation leading up to this, not to mention a cruel immigration system. But, like, even granting all that – no one can seriously think the richest nation ever just has to put people in these conditions. This is a choice. https://t.co/7lpebpY5vi

The border wall has never been a “solution”—it is an expensive & outrageously destructive prop to make people who’ve never even been to the border feel “safe”
