An opinion writer for the New York Times is making headlines after her most recent piece.

In this piece, she openly advocates for the doxxing and shaming of Border Patrol officials. Of course, this is something which many Americans view as problematic, for a series of reasons.

A Closer Look at the Call to Dox Border Patrol Agents

Writer and human rights professor Kate Cronin-Furman takes issue with the treatment she believes migrant children are facing at the Southern border. This is a matter which has gained more and more press coverage over the past few weeks.

However, Cronin-Furman’s proposed solution to the situation at the border is to dox agents and then release this information to the public and their communities. This is something which she directly stated in her penned op-ed.

In Cronin-Furman’s own words:

“The identities of the individual Customs and Border Protection agents who are physically separating children from their families and staffing the detention centers are not undiscoverable. Immigration lawyers have agent names; journalists reporting at the border have names, photos, and even videos. These agents’ actions should be publicized, particularly in their home communities.”
