Offensive posts on a secret Facebook group described by U.S. border patrol head as completely inappropriate

Sexually explicit posts and images targeted U. S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez among others

The head of the U.S. Border Patrol on Monday slammed as “completely inappropriate” sexually explicit posts about U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and comments questioning the authenticity of a photo of a drowned man and his young daughter in a secret Facebook group for agents.

The Democrats delivered an emotional denunciation of what they saw inside the border facilities as protesters shouted that they didn’t believe them. Trump said he hadn’t seen the postings, but claimed Border Patrol agents were not happy with Congress.“So the Border Patrol, they’re patriots, they’re great people. They love our country. They know who’s coming in,” said Trump.

They marked a sharp contrast to accounts of Border Patrol officers spending their own money on food for migrants in their care, or rescuing migrants from the Rio Grande , or from a bombing range in Arizona. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the parent agency of Border Patrol, said an investigation into “disturbing social media activity” was underway.
