When warnings are ignored and voices are silenced.

Thank you to all my subscribers. I cannot do this without you all. Your donations and subscriptions make the documentation of these atrocities possible.

I woke up exhausted this morning to a post from Arturo Dominguez, a brilliant writer on Substack and other outlets:

I am exhausted because I am seeing everything I have been writing and talking about for the last ten years come to fruition. I shouldn’t say everything; I am sometimes wrong and willing to admit that. I am not some psychic or forecaster of Border Patrol actions looking into my crystal ball. I am just Hell-bent on telling the truth of this agency.

You would think that pro-immigration groups would want to work with me, but no. Though my book has blown the door off the agency’s secrecy and lies, some say that I was an agent too long ago to know anything today. Others say I am just a disgruntled employee looking to get even for being raped thirty years ago. But most immigration NGOs say to me, “Once a Migra, always a Migra.”

They do don’t trust me even though all are currently working with CBP and Border Patrol as if they are part of the decision making process. They do not realize the agency is gathering information on them when they participate in these fake joint meetings and using it against them. The desire to rub elbows with chiefs and management is sometimes too enticing for these NGOs.

In my fifty-four years on this planet, I was only an agent for six.

In the last ten years since my suicide attempt, I have often said and written that the Border Patrol has a goal of becoming a national police force. This was the stated goal of former Chief David V. Aguilar. Every Border Patrol chief after Aguilar held this objective. This is inside speak; that is you would have to be an agent and an agent in management to know these things. Today, we see the beginnings of this national police force under the guise of a mass deportation with uniformed agents entering the interior of the US instead of staying within their hundred mile legal boundaries.

And the NGOs are relatively quiet. I have criticized them for this.

When I first started speaking and writing about the Border Patrol, I tried to work with groups only to find out they were working closely with my former agency and CBP and turning over what I said to the agency. Obviously, this was troubling because I know the internal speak of the agency.

“You just don’t understand these high level negotiations I am doing with CBP about the coverup teams,” they said. They busted my chops every time I gave an interview claiming that the agency had plans to go into the interior and become a national police force answerable to no one but the president; a republican president that is. “This is why no one wants to talk to you. You go too far,” their press relations manager said.

When I pointed out that Latinos make up over fifty percent of the Border Patrol yet are not represented in management, they said I was ridiculous. They claimed that the agency could not be racist if they had so many Latinos as employees. This ignored the fact that representation in management is where it counts the most. When I said on MSNBC that it is concerning that ICE & white supremacy groups have the same goals & talking points, I was banned. When I said Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott intentionally did not respond on Jan 6th even though he had BORTAC at the ready just blocks away, no one cared.

Now Scott is Commissioner of CBP & Border Patrol.

When I said they had illegal coverup teams, & Biden just rolled them into CBP further hiding them, no one cared. When I said they were raping female agents since we first joined, many in pro-immigrant groups told me it was the least we deserved. When I said, "They are doing worse to the migrant women & children," I was met with silence. When I said they have enough agents to carry out a brutal mass deportation, I was laughed at by legacy media who claimed I was just trying to scare migrants for clicks. When I said Border Patrol agents statistically commit more violent crimes than the migrants they arrest, silence. When I showed how ICE, CBP & Border Patrol taken together meet the five elements of genocide, I was called hysterical.

I cannot even get published anywhere, because I have told you the truth.

So, today I am telling you we are building concentration camps. Today, I am telling you they are going after every Brown person legal or not. Today, they are arresting people who simply do not have their papers on them. Today, I am telling you they are taking away citizenship. Today, I am telling you we are committing ethnic cleansing as these camps are designed and intend to kill.

Soon, I will tell you they have removed Latino agents because they can no longer be trusted. And one day, I will have nothing to say because there will be no more of you, and I will be taken too.

This ethnic cleansing.
