Since 2020, at least 51 ICE and CBP officers, agents, and contractors have been convicted or accused of sexual misconduct — 34 of them for crimes against children. These are the masked men kidnapping women and children off the street into unmarked vans and disappearing them into concentration camps.

The Border Patrol was founded in 1924, by the same Congress that passed a eugenics law meant to preserve a white racial majority. Its first ranks drew from the Texas Rangers and members of the Second Ku Klux Klan. This force was born to violently enforce race policies. It never stopped.

Then there are the camps. The government is building a vast network of for-profit concentration camps. Detainees have filed thousand reports of sexual abuse. Most go unreported. Only a tiny fraction of reports are ever investigated. The rapists are responsible for investigating themselves

You could hardly design a job better suited to draw abusers. Unchecked power over people no one will believe, and almost no chance of a consequence. So it draws the very men you should fear, and then it shields them. Senior agency officials bragged for years about their own sexual misconduct.

The weapon built for border violence has been turned inward. The masked men, the unmarked vans, the raids and the killings have come home. In Trump's second term alone, immigration agents have shot at least 23 people, killing 13 - many of them US citizens. The death squads grow bolder by the day.

Agent for agent, no federal agency has more of its own agents fired for misconduct than Border Patrol. And yet when a migrant reports abuse, 97 percent of the time nothing happens at all. Complaints are handed back to the same sectors to investigate themselves. The system protects the abusers.

This is not a story about a few bad men. A border built to do violence will do violence. That was always the design. For a century this machine has ground up migrants, refugees, and citizens alike. The abuse is not a malfunction - it is not a question of training. The system functioning as designed.

After 9/11, the U.S. built a Leviathan. Twenty-two agencies fused into the largest reshaping of government in half a century, aimed first at Arab and Muslim men. Both parties fed it. Today ICE is the highest funded police force in the country, larger than every other federal police agency combined.

This BORTAC crew from the Rio Grande Valley BORTAC detachment (L. Andy Chavez, R. Tee Rico) were at the center of a snatch & grab in the Northside neighborhood of Irving Park right before a children's Halloween parade.
