A former senior Border Patrol agent described an elite federal unit deployed by the Trump administration to quell protests in Portland, Oregon, as one of the "the most violent and racist in all law enforcement."

Jenn Budd, who worked at the agency for six years until 2001, described her encounters with the US Border Patrol's unique unit, known as the Border Patrol Tactical Unit, or Bortac, to The Guardian in a story published on Monday.

The specially trained officers are the "biggest guys, like the jocks in a football team," Budd told The Guardian. "They live in tight groups like the Navy Seals, spending their time in military-style training," she said.

Budd added: "They don't exist within the realm of civilian law enforcement. They view people they encounter in the military sense as enemy combatants, meaning they have virtually no rights."

Bortac, which was established in 1984, often functions as the Border Patrol's SWAT team and is responsible for carrying out missions related to drug trafficking, human smuggling, and other high-risk operations. Members undergo advanced training, have special weapons, and are deployed both domestically and internationally, such as in Afghanistan and Iraq. The unit is headquartered in El Paso, Texas, and officials typically work in desert areas of the border.

1. How do we stop this nonsense

[SoonerPride]

4. With tanks

Sorry but that’s the truth

[A HERETIC I AM]

5. Fire them all, then arrest them on the spot.

Then find the asshole who though this was a good idea in the first place,and fire him. Then arrest him and shoot him on sight.

I mean...why not? What's good for the goose, and all.

Land of the free!

Give me a break!

What's disturbing is there is no shortage of this type of asshole, the type who is in it for the pain they can cause, and nothing else.

We are on seriously fucked up society, and a solid 35% want to change NOTHING!


In fact, make it worse.
