US Border Patrol agents targeted migrants and some prominent politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 'vile' attacks.

Congressional Democrats on Monday condemned postings made in a secret Facebook group for US Border Patrol agents that targeted migrants and some prominent politicians with attacks that the chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus called "vulgar, disgusting and vile".

Border Patrol chief Carla Provost, who responded to the ProPublica report, described the online group as "completely inappropriate and contrary to the honour and integrity I see - and expect - from our agents day in and day out"; she vowed to hold accountable any employee found to have violated the agency's rules of conduct.

During Monday's visit to Clint, legislators saw about two dozen migrant children being held there, down from about 700 in May, Aguilar said. Members expressed more pointed concerns about the El Paso facility, where they said several hundred people are still detained. A Department of Homeland Security official, who was not authorised to discuss the visit and spoke on the condition of anonymity, insisted that no Border Patrol agent would make a migrant in their custody drink from a toilet and said there was water available.

Report calls for 'urgent' action on conditions at US border campsIn a scathing report, an independent US watchdog describes conditions inside holding facilities on the US-Mexico border as 'dangerous' and in 'urgent' need of attention. The report found some children aren't getting showers, hot food or fresh clothes, while others are being held for weeks. Wonder if the UN is preparing a report. Its gone a bit beyond protecting borders. Just send them a shitload of chocolate.
