'We do not have a dehumanizing culture at CBP,' acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said.
In addition to featuring derogatory posts about members of Congress, including Ocasio-Cortez, the group also joked about the deaths of migrants at the border.
While McAleenan championed the words of Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost, however, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency has refused to respond to questions, including fromas to whether Provost herself was at one point a member of the group. The Intercept has reported that she had at one point taken part in it and, therefore, would have been aware of the group.
"Did you consider the dehumanizing effect on the officers, specifically, in child separation and forcing them to take children away from their parents?" she asked McAleenan. "We do not have a dehumanizing culture at CBP," McAleenan insisted."This is an agency that rescues 4,000 people a year, that's absolutely committed to the well-being of everyone that they interact with.""Mr. Secretary, so you don't think that having 10,000 officers in a violent, racist group sharing rape memes of members of Congress points to any concern of a dehumanized culture?" Ocasio-Cortez asked.
