Seriously, stop, you are just making this stuff up out of you own head. Now this article may or may not be an accurate retelling of the events, but we have to go by it for the sake of argument.
They didn’t tell her her passport was in question, there is no reason, NO REASON, to think this woman is involved in the drug trade; I don’t know much about the Mexican border, but my impression is that people cross back and forth ALL THE TIME in those border areas.
And you know, I’ve never been in the “end the drug war” crowd (except for marijuanna), but I’m coming over to that side.
Because here is the thing, I don’t really care if people do drugs. I just don’t care. But I DO care about our LEOs becoming thuggish abusers. And if the War on Drugs is granting them license, or worse requiring them, to become thuggish abusers then maybe it needs to just stop.
The bottom line here, and in the other stories we’ve seen like this, this woman was NOT carrying drugs, she did NOT commit any crime - yet she was abused and humiliated; thousands, maybe tens of thousands of OUR money was spent in this vain pursuit of “drugs” or whatever; and MILLIONS our OUR money will be spent to compensate this woman, and others, for the abuse they suffered at the hands of OUR EMPLOYEES.
Stop making excuses for them, their lawyers, also on OUR DIME, will handle that part of things.
“but we have to go by it for the sake of argument.”
No - I don’t. We still in the US and it’s a free country - and yes - drugs are destroying the US and yes, we still need to fight on multiple fronts - and yes, training and hiring qualified people will stop abuses...but we just don’t know the situation down there because NONE OF US were there!
This may be the first time she was stopped - it may be the 22nd time she was stopped - maybe they received intelligence - maybe her face or passport was in question...I get my passport swiped every time I enter the US from a foreign travel - and I go to some bad places - but never have I been taken to the side and examined - because I NEVER give a bogus story like she did...the “uncle” part is what is referred to as an indicator and can be used to further inquiry...I’ done talking about this — most people on here have no background in situations like these - I’m defending CBP’s actions - nor am I coming to the defense of this unknown woman called Jane Doe...the US News cannot be trusted nor can the ACLU and these article serve no purpose but to give a low amount of unchecked allegations and everyone wants to set them in stone as facts!
