At @AlOtroLado_Org we've been yelling for years about @CBP's lies regarding capacity to process refugees @ the border. Their lies sentenced many migrants to die. Some survived but only after being beaten, raped, or kidnapped. Some of them were our clients. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/adolfoflores/border-officials-asylum-seekers-space-inspector-report
I'll never forget the woman who was kidnapped by a cartel & raped for weeks after being turned away by CBP from the POE. After escaping she ran back to the POE, bleeding & hair disheveled & crying, her little child (who had seen her be raped) in tow. But CBP turned her away again
Or the 2 unaccompanied teen boys lured from the youth shelter, kidnapped, tortured, & murdered in Zona Norte by members of organized crime. They're dead because they were waiting for their turn on a stupid fucking waitlist that DHS invented & the Mexican government accepted.
Or the young woman who was kidnapped & sex trafficked for month in dirty motels, until she convinced them she was broken & wouldn't run away, & then found her way to our office.
The news cycle is short but our memories are long. We will never forget that @DHSgov's lies have destroyed lives, that they must be brought to justice just as swiftly as those who killed, kidnapped, & trafficked our clients-- Because they knew it would happen & they did it anyway
