A report published Wednesday by a pair of advocacy groups details rampant human rights abuses against migrants and some American citizens allegedly perpetrated by Department of Homeland Security personnel at the U.S.- Mexico border in recent years under both the Trump and Biden administrations.
The report—entitled Abuses at the U.S.- Mexico Border: How To Address Failures and Protect Rights—was published by the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) and the Kino Border Initiative (KBI) and reveals "frequent and severe alleged abuses" of migrants by members of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), including Border Patrol agents.
