Far-right activists are intercepting migrant children and collecting information about their families, based on an unfounded conspiracy theory that they are falling prey to sex-trafficking rings.
SASABE, Ariz. — The 15 migrant children, weary and hungry, stumbled toward a gap in the rust-colored border wall that soars between Mexico and Arizona, nearing the end of their two-week trek north. Unexpectedly, a man in a cap emblazoned with a blackened American flag — traditionally, a message that “no quarter” will be given to the enemy — approached them and coaxed them to his campsite.
Soon, the girls and boys, who were from Guatemala, were sitting under a blue tent devouring hamburgers and sausages. Their host for the day in this remote part of the Arizona desert, Jason Frank, an enthusiastic follower of the QAnon movement, distributed “Let’s Go Brandon” T-shirts featuring an image of President Biden. Giggling and confused, the children changed into the shirts and posed for a group photo. Later, they formed a prayer circle with Mr. Frank and the rest of his team before the Border Patrol showed up.
Mr. Frank and his group, guns holstered on their hips, have been camping out near Sasabe, Ariz., as a self-appointed border force with the stated aim of protecting the thousands of migrant children who have been arriving from the evils of sex trafficking — a favorite QAnon theme.

That’s what I was thinking. Armed adult male, former addict with prison record, luring children to his campsite. Can you imagine what the Q crowd would say if some liberal was doing this?
Frank needs to give some “Let’s Go Brandon” T-shirts to the Border Patrol......
X22 reports still talks about coming booms that will never happen
“... the stated aim of protecting the thousands of migrant children who have been arriving from the evils of sex trafficking — a favorite QAnon theme.”
Is the author implying that there is no child sex trafficking taking place at the border? Or is the author implying that child sex trafficking is not evil?
Oh, I know about pirates. I even read treasure island. Lol.
I had never heard it in reference to an American flag. I guess this is the new thing I learn today. I can stop looking. Ha ha.

I had to call BS on the whole article when I read that (QAnon member) “Mr. Frank” still has a Facebook page
Good Lord!!! What a horrible way to treat these lonely lost children! Surely the Bitem crowd will arrest all those Qanon seditionists and send them to Guantanimo Bay along with all their fellow MAGA extremists. I bet Frank did not even give those poor children a free smart phone.
Treasure Island;
‘Have You a Piece of Cheese about Ya Boy?’
.
Is That in the book?
Knowing these perverts, it is both.
Why are they not willing to see for themselves? because they are involved in the twin abominations of child rape and human trafficking.
