Earlier this week, a report revealed a closed Facebook group for current and former Border Patrol agents that reportedly features jokes about migrant deaths, derogatory comments about Latina lawmakers and a lewd meme involving at least one of them
Acting Department of Homeland Secretary Kevin McAleenan has ordered an immediate investigation into offensive posts"that allegedly includes active Border Patrol personnel," he said in a series of tweets Wednesday.
"I have directed an immediate investigation, and as the @USBPChief has made clear, any employee found to have compromised the public's trust in our law enforcement mission will be held accountable," McAleenan said."They do not represent the men and women of the Border Patrol or @DHSgov.". The report by the investigative reporting group ProPublica came against the backdrop of lawmakers' visit to Texas border facilities.
