Borderland Talk

CBP and Border Patrol are not sending us their best.

It is not accurate to say that all CBP and Border Patrol employees are criminals coming “from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels,” but it is quite scary to see how many of them are hired. This Thanksgiving, DHS should stop making room at the table for their criminal employees.

Border Patrol is taking the powers they want.

The US Border Patrol has become our version of Russia’s FSB or state security police, and Rodney Scott is leading the charge.

Borderland Talk

Speaking truth to power.

I am not asked to speak often. There is something frightening about what I have to say in these times.

Miss me with your concern over Epstein’s victims.

Rape and sexual abuse is ubiquitous in our culture.We will believe you when you believe us.

Border Patrol Critical Incident Teams

The killing of Anastasio Hernandez Rojas & subsequent coverup by former Chief Rodney Scott’s illegal & secret Critical Incident Team.

This action by former Chief Scott delayed the SDPD Homicide investigation and further obstructed their efforts. Scott is now the Commissioner of CBP in the second Trump Administration.

Borderland Talk

Border Patrol achieves its goal of becoming THE national police force.

Buckle-up buttercups. The violence has just begun.

Borderland Talk

CBP and ICE were never honorable.

The brutality against aliens takes many forms, including that of sexual assaults, some immigration officials said. But even in these cases Federal charges are almost never brought against the offending officers.

Borderland Talk

The long history of DHS fake press releases concerning "cartel bounties."

Do immigration enforcement agencies just make up intelligence? Yes.

Borderland Talk

If tear gas is banned in warfare, why is ICE smothering Americans in it?

States and cities must immediately pass laws banning the use of these chemical weapons on their citizens citing international law and the CDC.

Border Patrol Critical Incident Teams

US Border Patrol Critical Incident Teams Declaration

It is no wonder that out of the hundreds of deaths that occurred at the hands of Border Patrol agents since 1987, not a single agent has been convicted or been held accountable.

Borderland Talk

Border Patrol’s long history of illegally listening to your cell phones without warrants.

Under today’s authoritarian take-over of the US government with the immigration agencies being the tip of the spear of this violent insurrection, I recommend you all assume they can and are listening to your cell phones. That goes for political leaders as well; assume they are listening.

Borderland Talk

Using their government vehicles to ram cars is standard operating procedure in the US Border Patrol.

What Americans are learning is that what happens on the border does not stay on the border, and that includes Border Patrol deadly chases, the coverups that ensue and the lack of accountability that follows.

Borderland Talk

The weapons DHS is asking for that will be used against Americans.

DHS is looking for a company to fulfill a large request for “non-lethal” weapons.

Borderland Talk

Governors must charge ICE agents with state crimes.

This assault and violation of use of force occurred in Chicago, Illinois on Kedzie Street. Governor Pritzger and Mayor Brandon Johnson must charge this agent if they intend to keep their promises of protecting their constituents.  Otherwise, the people must start protecting themselves.

Borderland Talk

Border Patrol: Lying is policy.

What we see here is a typical Border Patrol coverup where no one can recall their actions, they blame everyone and everything else, refuse to submit documents proving their innocence and then work to protect their own agents.

Borderland Talk

Seeking privilege over equality in the US Border Patrol.

This woman gave her entire life to the US Border Patrol, and they threw her under their detention buses. They screwed her over as they do all of us.

Borderland Talk

Call them concentration camps.

These are concentration camps and must be called such, America.

Borderland Talk

The Border Patrol and CBP unions are illegal.

Therein lies the rub: the Border Patrol and its agents are actively "engaged in intelligence, investigative, or security work which directly affects national security.” This means that they cannot legally have a bargaining unit any longer under national security laws.

Borderland Talk

Warnings about the Border Patrol not heeded from 4 years ago.

This is the type of law enforcement border residents and migrants have endured for generations. This is what current Chief Scott is bringing to a town near you. The Border Patrol is a brutal, unregulated, unaccountable, militant force.

What a humane and secure immigration system looks like.

I will argue every day for the rest of my life that our immigration policies for the last 30 years, policies that have come from both sides of the aisle, have made us less secure. Since 1994, the US Border Patrol has been screaming at the top of its lungs

Border Patrol Rape Culture

What we can learn from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and their rape culture.

RCMP has a rape culture eerily similar to our Border Patrol. These are the lessons learned from their fight for justice and equality.

Borderland Talk

Why immigration agents bust out car windows.

The act of busting car windows is a time honored tradition within the immigration enforcement agencies of ICE, Border Patrol and CBP.

Borderland Talk

In the last 4 years, a CBP agent has been arrested every 1.5 days.

CBP and Border Patrol employee arrests brings them to an average of an arrest every 1.35 days for July 2025.

Much in the way I chose the Border Patrol over my family, Mom chose Dad for better and a whole lot of worse.

Border Patrol Critical Incident Teams

GAO report on Border Patrol Critical Incident Team coverups is a joke.

The fact that this entire report was written from the viewpoint, with the lies and propaganda used by the agency for over thirty-seven years to keep these coverup units a secret is all you need to know before you throw this report in the trash with the others.
