Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused U.S. border agents of conducting a program of “psychological warfare” against detained migrants who were told to drink water from toilets if they were thirsty.

The New York Democrat’s comments on Twitter came amid a report Monday that border agents used a secret Facebook group to share lewd posts about Ocasio-Cortez and at least one other Democratic lawmaker as well as racist comments about migrants. “Just left the 1st CBP facility. I see why CBP officers were being so physically & sexually threatening towards me. Officers were keeping women in cells w/ no water & had told them to drink out of the toilets,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, referring to U.S.

Customs and Border Protection. California Representative Judy Chu also said on Twitter that migrants were told to drink from the toilet if they wanted water. Pennsylvania Representative Madeleine Dean in a tweet called conditions “far worse than we ever could have imagined.”

Trump campaign spokesman Matt Wolking said on Twitter that Ocasio-Cortez’s claim was “without evidence.” The lawmakers were taking part in a delegation organized by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to El Paso and Clint, Texas, to investigate facilities used to detain undocumented immigrants. Ocasio-Cortez said on Twitter she “forced” herself into a cell to speak to women, who described “their treatment at the hands of officers as ‘psychological warfare’ – waking them at odd hours for no reason, calling them wh*res, etc.” Ocasio-Cortez was confronted by shouting Trump supporters during a televised press conference in Clint.

“No woman should ever be locked up in a pen when they have done no harm to another human being,” she said. “They should be given water and basic access to human rights.”

Customs and Border Protection said in a statement Monday it was opening an investigation into the Facebook group, which was first reported by the news organization ProPublica.

It reported that members of the group shared a post in which a photo-shopped President Donald Trump is shown to force Ocasio-Cortez’s head toward his crotch and another illustration suggesting she engaged in oral sex with migrants.

“Today, U.S. Customs and Border Protection was made aware of disturbing social media activity hosted on a private Facebook group that may include a number of CBP employees,” said Assistant Commissioner Matthew Klein. He said the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector is beginning an investigation.

The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment about the ProPublica article. House Homeland Security Chairman Bennie Thompson of Mississippi called the Facebook group “beyond sexist and racist – it is truly abhorrent and shameful, and there is no excuse for this depraved behavior.

a6The agents found to be responsible for these vile comments should no longer have the privilege of representing the United States of America in uniform.” Congress last week passed a $4.5 billion emergency border funding bill aimed at improving conditions for migrants at the border.

House Democrats were unable to secure all the provisions they wanted to force Homeland Security to improve the conditions in their facilities, amid reports that children had been denied soap, toothpaste and clean diapers. People held in five CBP detention centers in Texas were served an unhealthy menu including frozen sandwiches, cold burritos and potato chips, according government data reflecting descriptions from a nutritionist and two doctors.

Detainees at a facility in McAllen complained they were served frozen, “slimy” sandwiches that had been partially thawed but not heated, said Toby Elizabeth Gialluca, a lawyer who volunteers for the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law, who visited the center in mid-June.

This is how Trump is creating and training Terrorist. Just wait 10 or 15 years you would find out these same kids are going to Terrorize us. That was how other presidents created Terrorism ever since 90 years ago by assigning those puppets in those middle eastern countries in order to steal their natural resources.

As a professional plumber AOC is not telling the whole truth, these are toilet sink combo units specifically designed for jails. They are now making fashionable versions for small apartments in Japan and they are beginning to catch on here in the us because they are so good at conserving water. When you wash your hands that water dumps into the toilet tank below it and gets used a second time when you flush. Ultra green design, I have installed a few. Also the sink and toilet are plumbed with separate water supplies, specifically to prevent cross contamination and back siphonage in the even of a loss in water pressure.

I wonder if half the people understand that pres obama is the one who got them coming up here, and NPR said 2 yrs ago that these people were told exactly what to say, coaxed, tell them you fear for your life. This idiot woman doesn’t say anything about these people putting their kids in harms way to come here, very few afraid of where they lived, NPR now won’t come clean about the comments that were made 2 yrs ago. O how I fear for this country, such ignorance about Trump because of his bad habits and lack of tact and bullying, people think he doesn’t care about kids. He said he’d protect us. I worked for Corrections I saw the influx of hispanic illegals that came here and were in jail and prison until transported back, and yet they come right back, I’ve lived among these people as a single parent, and I could speak a little Spanish have a soft spot in my heart for them, but truthfully when they do come illegally, they will do just about anything to sustain themselves in work so they can survive, which means, they break any law to do that. It’s already happened, Obama is responsible for them coming here, he invited them, and then we hear him say, we dont’ have room, that lying socialist on the job learner of a president was the worst thing that could happen, if you don’t believei it, read the books people have written on him and go over the 8 yrs he was the president, and listen to commentators on youtube, glenn beck gives an honest talk about him. I don’t care if his b/cert. was legal or not, those who raised him were communist and he didn’t just meet bill ayers of the WEathermen a couple times, they hung out. And barack obama is racist, I say that for many reasons, also when you go to a church that is all of one race with a pastor who leans toward marxism, what does that say about you. Sure michell and barack are great parents, but they are not the freedom loving people we thought. I watched her mean comment about our flag when they were filmed and he didn’t change his face expression, but she did, she had an ugly comment and an ugly look, one thing about that woman, she always almost wore her feelings on her sleeve. The only thing she did is make kids hungry, all of them almost threw away those lunches that dieticians and she planned, every day, in my state and where my friend was a lunch person in LA. I couldn’t believe it, they couldn’t tolerate the food, the drank the milk and that was about it. That never made headlines, many things didn’t, the left media loved the Obamas, and Obamas still tries to govern this country, he went to the middle east and we’re having problems there. That’s against a policy to do that, but he did it. I cried when he apologized to countries for our getting in their business, because we helped so much, I actually cried I was so embarrassed that a president would do that. That man never loved this country, he wanted to reformat our constitution and bring about socialism on a big scale so that everyone would be equal, capitalism is what made the country great and his ideas to fix our problems didn’t work and caused problems.

All the Dems can do is scream COMPASSION as if they are so concerned about the Illegal immigrants that are INVADING our country. I don’t see AOC or Pressley taking them into their own homes, giving them a bed, food or providing them with health care but they sure want the rest of hard working, tax paying LEGAL AMERICAN citizens to pay for what they themselves won’t share. Get off your blankity blank high horses and shut up! I don’t see a BRAIN between any of the FAR left Democrats and as for AOC she is a lying, self-serving, power wannabe witch! She wasn’t trying to stand beside Pressley in support she was trying to claim the lime light just as she has been doing all along. Sure wouldn’t want to live in AOC’s district. They are a band of SHEEPeople with No Brains just like the real sheep with a SHEEP DOG herding them right off the cliff just as intended!
