The US is NOT a dictatorship. As with the IRS, the AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO ANSWERS. No PLEADING THE 5TH. NO NOT PROVIDING REPORTS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. In response to mounting allegations of unwarranted violence by U.S. Border Patrol agents, including culpability in over 40 border-related deaths, Congress ordered an investigation of U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) use of force policies and practices. This investigation included an internal assessment by CBP, a review by the Office of Inspector General (OIG), and an independent evaluation by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), a nonprofit police research organization. Although these reports were completed last year, the substantive details remain concealed behind redacted text or, in the case of the PERF report, undisclosed altogether. Despite CBP’s efforts to bury the findings of the PERF report, immigration advocacy groups continue lobbying for the release of the report, and several have requested the release of the report under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). However, despite calls for transparency, CBP’s attempted stranglehold on the report continues.
