Officers working for Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security initiative have been ordered to push small children and nursing babies back into the Rio Grande and not to give water to asylum seekers even in extreme heat, according to an email from a DPS trooper. trib.al/DU36yCR
The July 3 account, reviewed by Hearst Newspapers, discloses several previously unreported incidents the trooper witnessed in Eagle Pass, where the state of Texas has strung miles of razor wire and deployed a wall of buoys in the Rio Grande. houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas…
@HoustonChron The TX gov had signed into a misbegotten law that allows employers (Farmers? Construction project managers?) to deny their employees water and water breaks during this climate change induced heat wave. Think about how cruel and inhumane and, yes, racist, that is. Think about it.
@HoustonChron This is cruel, evil. It's time for the federal government to intervene.
@HoustonChron Um @NATO a little help here, war crimes without a war
@HoustonChron No offense but aren’t these violations of international law? The kind of stuff prosecutable at @IntlCrimCourt? 🤔
@HoustonChron Good, then they are doing their jobs. They are not there to help invaders but to repel them. I support LEGAL immigration.
