Border Patrol chief admits being member of controversial Facebook group
Dumbfuck in charge of education, EPA chief who hates the environment, and a Border Patrol boss who is a racist dipshit.
US Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost said on Wednesday that she was a member of a secret Facebook group that reportedly contains vulgar and offensive posts, adding that she told internal investigators once she realized her involvement.
"Not only did I self-report, I turned my entire Facebook account over," she said before a House Appropriations subcommittee. "I gave them my log-in and my password."
Provost denied knowing of the "highly offensive and absolutely unacceptable posts" ahead of the ProPublica investigative report that first exposed the Facebook group dubbed "I'm 10-15." The name refers to Border Patrol code 10-15 for "aliens in custody." Earlier this month, The Intercept reported Provost was a member of the Facebook group.
The closed group reportedly contains current and former Border Patrol agents and posts containing jokes about migrant deaths, derogatory comments about Latina lawmakers and a lewd meme involving at least one of them.
Provost's congressional testimony comes as Democratic lawmakers express outrage over the growing humanitarian crisis on the southern border and reports of deteriorating conditions at border facilities. Nationwide protests were held across the US earlier this month to demand the closure of detention facilities holding migrant children and families.
