Border Patrol Federal Agents Face Allegations of Child Abuse

“CBP takes seriously all allegations of misconduct, but without new specifics is unable to check to commence reasonable steps to examine these assertions and address the accusations levied.”

What Do Americans Think Regarding the Accusations and CBP’s Denial?

Readers of The Hill weighed in with their thoughts regarding the allegations and CBP’s denial:

“The system needs to be changed and held accountable for the young lives in their care.”

“Our immigration enforcers are committing crimes against humanity, including enabling trafficking of children after separating them from their parents.”

“Just because they are illegal doesn’t mean they are not human. It doesn’t excuse abuse.”

Some Americans have questioned whether or not such graphic accounts from children could truly be “baseless.”
