WASHINGTON (AP) — The Border Patrol’s parent agency said Friday that it fired four employees and suspended 38 without pay for inappropriate social media activity following revelations of a secret Facebook group that mocked members of Congress and migrants.

The investigation began in July 2019 after posts surfaced in a secret Facebook group called “I’m 10-15.” They questioned the authenticity of images of a migrant father and child dead on the banks of the Rio Grande River and depicted doctored images of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez purporting to perform a sex act on President Donald Trump.

Customs and Border Protection said another 33 employees were disciplined with reprimands or counseling. Of 138 cases investigated, 63 were found unsubstantiated. Six cases remained open to investigation Wednesday.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez purporting to perform a sex act on President Donald Trump.

With ELECTED officials like Ocasio-Cortez who screech and scream their anti-american rhetoric it's not surprising.

The Squad is the informal name for a group of four women elected in the 2018 United States House of Representatives elections, made up of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.

What they have in common is their hatred of the U.S.A.--the best place in the world, second only, perhaps to the Roman Empire.

Glad they had time to investigate a secret FB group.
Now maybe they can go have coffee with the FBI Art Crime squad; it’s not as if there’s a coup or widespread civil unrest going on.

Wasn't there some sort of server that was being used by a bunch of Obama staffers?

Was that fully investigated?

Radio code 10-15 stands for Prisoner in custody / Message delivered.
