U.S. Customs and Border Protection says that 62 employees and eight former employees are under investigation for lewd and offensive posts on a private Facebook group that mocked House Democrats and migrants.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Monday that 62 employees and eight former employees are under investigation for lewd and offensive posts on a private Facebook group that mocked House Democrats and migrants.
Officials launched the investigation on July 1, after a report by ProPublica revealed the posts in the Facebook group known as"I'm 10-15," which included some 9,500 members of current and former Border Patrol personnel. Some posters responded to a teen boy's death in U.S.
An internal CBP memo by Klein showed that he had been aware as early as February 2018 of at least one private Facebook group that included"inappropriate and offensive posts" by its personnel. It was not clear whether the Facebook group mentioned in the 2018 memo was"I'm 10-15." In the all-hands memo at the time, Klein noted that the leadership was aware of"inappropriate and offensive posts" and said it must stop.
