John,

Remember a couple weeks ago when we learned about a secret Facebook group
of thousands of Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) staff, filled with
disgusting comments and memes wishing death and harm to immigrants,
laughing at the inhumane conditions of detention centers, and promoting
violence toward women of color in Congress like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

Naturally, CBP leadership played dumb and claimed they had no idea this
racist, sexist, and vulgar group existed, and promised staff would be held
accountable. Now, we know that’s a lie.

It turns out that CBP Chief Carla Provost was a member of the group. She
even posted in it.

Provost’s original response to the news of this Facebook group, in which
she claimed, “These posts are completely inappropriate and contrary to the
honor and integrity I see,” was clearly a bald-faced lie. How can we trust
this supervisor to hold her staff accountable for their hatred and cruelty
when she knew about it for months and did nothing?

It’s bullshit. Accountability at the agency that is actively dehumanizing
children and families in detention centers and then bragging and laughing
about it on social media starts at the top.

be fired immediately >>

Amazingly, while Trump seems to love almost any kind of media attention,
he doesn't love this kind. That's why just yesterday Labor Secretary
Acosta resigned and that's why, if we turn up the media pressure, so will
Chief Provost.

While Vice President Mike Pence takes press into his and Trump’s
concentration camps this weekend and pretends that everything is just
peachy, we need to rise up and show this lying, heartless administration
we reject their cruelty and human rights abuses.

We will raise hell until these people are held accountable.

Thanks for making your voice heard,

-Charles
