Federal authorities have identified 62 U.S. Border Patrol employees who were members of private Facebook groups where posters traded disparaging remarks and memes about migrants and members of Congress

Matt Klein, an assistant commissioner for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which includes the Border Patrol, said Monday that cases on two of the employees have been completed and referred back to the agency.

Exactly the bigoted, hipocritical people who should never be in that job.

Just blowing off steam. Relax a little

They must be true Americans

rhonda_harbison And those 62 will be fired.....? 😐 Yeah, right

What happened to the 1st Amendment?

Would you think that law enforcement officers in general have a negative view of lawbreakers?

So they should just delete them, bleach them and destroy the devices. Seems like that worked for HillaryClinton

Too bad. That bunch are obviously not the sharpest knives in the drawer.

Oh noooo they act like Facebook employees!

Don't care they have a job and liberals are preventing them from doing it. They are constantly disparaging them. They are obstructing them. Liberal Democrats socialists aiding and abetting illegals to break the laws. No sympathy. They have a right to vent.

Don’t they have first amendment rights or is that for the lefty’s

Sounds like more liberal bullshit

62 hero’s

Sticks and stones may break your bones but names will never harm you. Give it a break.

So what.

62,000 border patrol employees and we're talking about Facebook groups that included a whoping 62 border patrol employees. I so do not want yo believe the WSJ is not trending towards CNN, but man how you've taken a turn to the left with your political coverage.

62 out of 60 million who mock her daily?

Slow news day wsj

That’s pretty close to 9,500(sarcasm)

freedom of speech?

I guess they will all get promotions pay raises and possibly a Acting Cabinet Position within the RacistInChief RacistTrump Administration

Fire them and if they are retired cut their pensions.

I'm guessing also members of Police and Armed Forces can be found in similar groups. As big a problem as illegal immigration?

Including their BOSS!!!!!!! ?

Wait, this guy interviewed on NPR few days ago said there were just three, 3, tres, trois....

Nonsense

FIRE THE 'JACK BOOT' BASTARDS.!!

How many of them were Hispanic? From what I hear 60 % are Hispanic.

Such harassment is regularly also practised by some employees in some leftist corporate cultures against those with other political views but they are ignored or condoned by parts of the media who are often in on it.

More people died in immigration custody than abortions at planned parenthood... so much for the pro-lifers... they only care when it’s something a democrat says or does...

Rubberbandits this isn’t miles from the stuff in your recent podcast 😵😵😵

Therefore, what?

Only 62, that's a shame.

smokeydogg777

And don't tell me, let me guess. They have all been given positions in the White House.

So?

OHHH NOOO THE MEMES!! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!

but were the remarks racially tinged? racially charged? racism-adjacent? THE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW.

Ok but like.. have they fired them or what

The Border Patrol Hits a Breaking PointBehind this week’s migrant-center horrors lies an agency plagued by years of dysfunction—and Trump is only its latest problem. That's to Dems . Border agents support president Homeland Security was a mistake. We should go back to the system we had before. Centralizing this authority under one mega department has NOT made anything or anyone safer. It would NOT have prevented 911, Condi was still in charge and would have still failed to act.
