Does Congress have the power to prosecute Border Patrol Agents?

Or does that strictly fall under the DOJ?

Because I'll tell you what...I've been reading about AOC's visit to one of the camps. I've been reading about a secret facebook group consisting of 9,500 Customs and Border Patrol Agents. Members of this group are posting racist shit, threatening members of Congress, etc. I've been reading about women being forced to drink out of toilets.

I've been reading about the same things you have been reading about.

This country is not heading towards a dark place. This country is already in a dark place that seemed unimaginable just a relatively short time ago. I would like to think that Joe Average is shaking in his fucking boots right now like I am. But apparently, Joe Average doesn't give a fuck.

Are we really this fucked? What are we going to do at this point, take to the streets? Wait for someone to fucking do something after Mueller testifies? Guess what, too fucking late. The frog has boiled to death.

Sorry about this downer of a post. But you know, I guess I am the blame too. All I've done is complain online, written to my Representative, and told a few Trumpers off in public. Big Whoop. Not enough. What's it going to take, and why isn't that "it" being done now? Or yesterday? It seems like every single day is stuffed with three whole months worth of shit.

There's gonna be a march in multiple cities I guess...
But shit, what do we DO!???

If this is DOJ territory, that's just wrong.

Who polices the police?
