Oh my, so the term "ours" is racist?

Indictments are coming, and they won't be for process crimes.

Process crimes my ***.

The grifter in the WH surrounded himself with a bunch of criminals just like himself, who would lie, steal, cheat and commit fraud for a dollar.
Is ' conspiracy to defraud the United States' a process crime, you gaping asshole?

Oh yeah, the tax fraud Manafort committed two years before he worked for Trump was a huge threat to the nation.
And lying on the mortgage application that his family would live in the condo, a crime of earth shattering importance.

Inside the Secret Border Patrol Facebook Group Where Agents Joke About Migrant Deaths and Post Sexist Memes

Members of a secret Facebook group for current and former Border Patrol agents joked about the deaths of migrants, discussed throwing burritos at Latino members of Congress visiting a detention facility in Texas on Monday and posted a vulgar illustration depicting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez engaged in oral sex with a detained migrant, according to screenshots of their postings.

In one exchange, group members responded with indifference and wisecracks to the post of a news story about a 16-year-old Guatemalan migrant who died in May while in custody at a Border Patrol station in Weslaco, Texas.

One member posted a GIF of Elmo with the quote, “Oh well.” Another responded with an image and the words “If he dies, he dies.”

Created in August 2016, the Facebook group is called “I’m 10-15” and boasts roughly 9,500 members from across the country.

(10-15 is Border Patrol code for “aliens in custody.”)

The group described itself, in an online introduction, as a forum for “funny” and “serious” discussion about work with the patrol.

“Remember you are never alone in this family,” the introduction said.

Responsible for policing the nation’s southern and northern boundaries, the Border Patrol has come under intense scrutiny as the Trump administration takes new, more aggressive measures to halt the influx of undocumented migrants across the United States-Mexico border.

The patrol’s approximately 20,000 agents serve under the broader U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency, which has been faulted for allegedly mistreating children and adults in its custody.

The agency’s leadership has been in turmoil, with its most recent acting chief, John Sanders, resigning last week.

ProPublica received images of several recent discussions in the 10-15 Facebook group and was able to link the participants in those online conversations to apparently legitimate Facebook profiles belonging to Border Patrol agents, including a supervisor based in El Paso, Texas, and an agent in Eagle Pass, Texas.

ProPublica has so far been unable to reach the group members who made the postings.

ProPublica contacted three spokespeople for CBP in regard to the Facebook group and provided the names of three agents who appear to have participated in the online chats. CBP hasn’t yet responded.

“These comments and memes are extremely troubling,” said Daniel Martinez, a sociologist at the University of Arizona in Tucson who studies the border. “They’re clearly xenophobic and sexist.”

The postings, in his view, reflect what “seems to be a pervasive culture of cruelty aimed at immigrants within CBP. This isn’t just a few rogue agents or ‘bad apples.’”

The Border Patrol Facebook group is the most recent example of some law enforcement personnel behaving badly in public and private digital spaces.

An investigation by Reveal uncovered hundreds of active-duty and retired law enforcement officers who moved in extremist Facebook circles, including white supremacist and anti-government groups.

A team of researchers calling themselves the Plain View Project recently released a hefty database of offensive Facebook posts made by current and ex-law enforcement officers.

And in early 2018, federal investigators found a raft of disturbing and racist text messages sent by Border Patrol agents in southern Arizona after searching the phone of Matthew Bowen, an agent charged with running down a Guatemalan migrant with a Ford F-150 pickup truck.

The texts, which were revealed in a court filing in federal court in Tucson, described migrants as “guats,” “wild *** ****,” “beaners” and “subhuman.”

The messages included repeated discussions about burning the migrants up.

Several of the postings reviewed by ProPublica refer to the planned visit by members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, including Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Veronica Escobar, to a troubled Border Patrol facility outside of El Paso.

Agents at the compound in Clint, Texas, have been accused of holding children in neglectful, inhumane conditions.

Members of the Border Patrol Facebook group were not enthused about the tour, noting that Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from Queens, had compared Border Patrol facilities to Nazi concentration camps.

Escobar is a freshman Democrat representing El Paso.

One member encouraged Border Patrol agents to hurl a “burrito at these bitches.”

Another, apparently a patrol supervisor, wrote, “**** the hoes.”

“There should be no photo ops for these scum buckets,” posted a third member.

Perhaps the most disturbing posts target Ocasio-Cortez.

One includes a photo illustration of her engaged in oral sex at an immigrant detention center.

Text accompanying the image reads, “Lucky Illegal Immigrant Glory Hole Special Starring AOC.”

Another is a photo illustration of a smiling President Donald Trump forcing Ocasio-Cortez’s head toward his crotch.

The agent who posted the image commented: “That’s right bitches. The masses have spoken and today democracy won.”

The posts about Escobar and Ocasio-Cortez are “vile and sexist,” said a staffer for Escobar.

“Furthermore, the comments made by Border Patrol agents towards immigrants, especially those that have lost their lives, are disgusting and show a complete disregard for human life and dignity.”

The head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Joaquin Castro, reviewed the Facebook discussions and was incensed.

“It confirms some of the worst criticisms of Customs and Border Protection,” said Castro, a Democrat who represents San Antonio.

“These are clearly agents who are desensitized to the point of being dangerous to migrants and their co-workers.”

He added that the agents who made the vulgar comments “don’t deserve to wear any uniform representing the United States of America.”

Vicki Gaubeca, director of the Southern Border Communities Coalition, said the postings are more evidence of the sexism and misogyny that has long plagued the Border Patrol.

“That’s why they’re the worst at recruiting women,” said Gaubeca, whose group works to reform the agency.

“They have the lowest percentage of female agents or officers of any federal law enforcement agency.”

In another thread, a group member posted a photo of father and his 23-month-old daughter lying face down in the Rio Grande.

The pair drowned while trying to ford the river and cross into the U.S.; pictures of the two have circulated widely online in recent days, generating an outcry.

The member asked if the photo could have been faked because the bodies were so “clean.”

(The picture was taken by an Associated Press photographer, and there is no indication that it was staged or manipulated.)

“I HAVE NEVER SEEN FLOATERS LIKE THIS,” the person wrote, adding, “could this be another edited photo.

We’ve all seen the dems and liberal parties do some pretty sick things…”

Paul Manafort Will Spend Nearly Seven More Years In Prison

Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chair, will spend nearly seven more years in prison after a federal judge in Washington, DC, handed down his second sentence out of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced Manafort on Wednesday to spend 73 months in prison for conspiring to defraud the US government and tamper with witnesses, but a substantial part of that sentence will overlap with a sentence he previously received in Virginia.

Migrant children report verbal abuse, threats while in Border Patrol custody.

Migrant children kept in the custody of U.S. Customs and Border Protection have faced unsanitary conditions, verbal abuse and threats since arriving in the country, reports submitted to the Office of Refugee Resettlement by clinicians and case managers show.

The “Significant Incident Reports,” five of which were obtained exclusively by Yahoo News, include descriptions provided by detained unaccompanied minors about the kinds of conditions and treatment they experienced while in the custody of U.S. Customs and Border Protection between June 12 and July 1 of this year.

The reports relay accounts provided by children about the treatment they have encountered while at detained at various CBP facilities along the southwest border.

In almost all cases described in the reports obtained by Yahoo News, the minors had been held in CBP custody for longer than the legally-mandated 72 hour limit before they were transferred to ORR care.

According to one report, submitted to ORR on June 13, an unaccompanied immigrant boy describes being verbally and emotionally abused, threatened, and neglected by CBP officials during the 11 days he was in custody in McAllen, Texas.

During his time in detention in McAllen, the boy reported that he became sick and developed a fever while held in a crowded and cold cell with other young males.

After fainting, the boy says that he was taken by a friend to the CBP clinic where medical staff spoke only English and did not explain to him his diagnosis nor what kind of medication they’d administered to him.

According to the report, the boy says spent three days in the sick bay at the McAllen facility, where he slept on the floor without a mattress or blanket of any kind.

The report notes that the boy’s Medical Screening Confirmation from CBP states “No medical issues identified and treated,” despite the fact that, according to the boy’s account, he was diagnosed with a fever and treated with medicine.

While in the sick bay, he also reported being verbally abused by an official in a black uniform who spoke some Spanish and told him and others in the sick bay, “Your lives don’t matter to me” and “Don’t act like little a**holes with me because, if I feel like it, I can hit you all with this stick.”

The minor reported that the same official also told the minor in Spanish, “If you act like a little a**hole, I will send you back to your country or I will send you to a different country so you will be alone.”

In another SIR submitted to ORR on June 12, 2019, a boy who had been held in CBP custody in San Diego described being separated from relatives, including his two sisters, one of whom is also a minor.

This boy reported that during his initial interview with a CBP official, he repeatedly explained that he had traveled to the U.S. with family and said that the official spoke Spanish.

Yet the CBP official continued to insist that the boy had traveled to the U.S. alone, the boy said, recording that version on his official paperwork despite the boy’s repeated explanations that this was not true.

This boy also reported that he’d disclosed the trauma he had experienced in his home country to the CBP official who, he said, told the minor that if he was lying he would be imprisoned, making him “feel intimidated and nervous, although he was telling the truth.”

Two separate reports submitted July 1 offer similar descriptions provided by a 12-year-old girl and her 7-year-old sister of unsanitary conditions at the Border Patrol facility in Clint, Texas.

The sisters both reported that they had been held for seven days at the facility in a small room with 35 other minors that was kept at an extremely cold temperatures and they were only permitted to bathe and brush their teeth once every three days.

The treatment of migrants, and children in particular, in CBP custody has come under intense scrutiny recently, in part following a report of prolonged detention and neglect of children at the Clint facility, near El Paso.

On Monday, members of Congress described conditions as “horrifying” during a visit to border processing facilities including Clint.

“Now I’ve seen the inside of these facilities,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, tweeted.

“It’s not just the kids. It’s everyone. People drinking out of toilets, officers laughing in front of members Congress.

I brought it up to their superiors. They said ‘officers are under stress & act out sometimes.’ No accountability.”

The reports obtained by Yahoo News were all generated by caseworkers and clinicians at one of approximately 120 ORR-funded shelters for unaccompanied immigrant children across the country.

In response to a request for comment on the reports, A CBP official provided a link to the agency’s Transport, Escort, Detention and Search (TEDS) policy along with the following statement:

“U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) leverages our limited resources to provide the best care possible to those in our custody, especially children.

As DHS and CBP leadership have noted numerous times, our short-term holding facilities were not designed to hold vulnerable populations and we urgently need additional humanitarian funding to manage this crisis.

CBP works closely with our partners at the Department of Health and Human Services to transfer unaccompanied children to their custody as soon as placement is identified, and as quickly and expeditiously as possible to ensure proper care.”

A spokesperson from the Department of Health and Human Services had indicated receipt of Yahoo News’ request for comment but was unable to provide a response before publication of this article.

Jennifer Podkul, policy director at Kids in Need of Defense, which provides pro bono legal services to immigrant children, said the kind of treatment described in these reports is hardly new, although the likelihood of such incidents increases as kids are spending more time in CBP Custody.

“For years we’ve been pushing CBP to hire child welfare professionals, it’s been evident for a long time that these agents and officers are not equipped to care for these kids,” she said.

“I’m glad to see case managers are reporting to ORR when they hear these kinds of stories,” she said, adding, “There’s been no accountability for this kind of behavior towards children.”

Ursela Ojeda, a policy advisor at the non-profit Women’s Refugee Commission stressed that the treatment described in these recent reports, along with the private Facebook group revealed by ProPublica this week, are indicative of “a culture of cruelty, of callously disregarding the rights of individuals in custody” within CBP.

“Not every single CBP officer is a bad person,” Ojeda said. “That would be impossible.

There are a lot of people trying to do their jobs and care for people.

But there is also just a culture up through leadership of disregarding the rights and stories of these people that are suffering.”
