Border Patrol investigating 62 employees, 8 ex-employees over racist CBP Facebook group

A U.S. border official told the Associated Press today that 62 Customs and Border Patrol employees, and 8 ex-employees, are all under investigation over that racist and violent CBP Facebook group.

In I’m 10-15, the secret CBP Facebook group that was full of racism, sexism, and jokes about migrant deaths, agents made social media posts that mocked refugees on the US-Mexico border, and promoted violence against lawmakers including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

There were more than 9,500 members at the group’s peak, before it was shut down.

Looks like the Border Patrol has a few more bad apples to round up.
