"Disturbing Report Exposes Rampant Human Rights Abuses by US Border Agents"

A report by the Washington Office on Latin America (Wola) and the Kino Border Initiative (KBI) reveals persistent human rights abuses without accountability at the US-Mexico border by agents with US Customs and Border Protection. The report highlights a pattern of lethal force misuse, intimidation, sexual harassment, and document falsification. The lack of accountability enables a culture of violations, with only 1% of complaints resulting in disciplinary action. The report offers over 40 recommendations for reform, including improved complaint intake, congressional oversight, and transparency.
