The people that I was working with were more criminal than the people I was arresting every day.
00:25
I was sexually assaulted by a classmate in the academy.
00:30
And they didn't do anything about it.
00:34
The station was full of pornography.
00:38
The government computers were full of pornography.
00:40
You know, I routinely had used condoms in my mail drawer at work.
00:45
On top of that, then there was the illegal stuff,
00:47
like there were agents smuggling drugs in border patrol vehicles.
00:51
Later on, I found out the boss of the station was the
00:55
one that was organizing the smuggling of drugs through Campo.
01:00
I learned the racist terms for migrants from my law instructor, who was a white guy from Texas.
01:19
But nobody in the border patrol really considers those terms to be racist.
01:23
They just consider them to be terms that we use.
01:27
But they are racist.
01:30
I noticed before I left that a lot of those anti-immigrant hate groups were
01:49
kind of hanging around on the border, the militias and so forth.
01:53
And they're horribly racist.
01:55
And then before you know it, these groups are inviting the union presidents
02:00
and vice presidents to come and speak at their conferences.
02:05
Then on the union website, where the agents go to get information,
02:10
they have links to those hate groups.
02:13
And these hate groups are labeled as hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
02:17
It's not me labeling them as a hate group.
02:19
That's the consensus.
02:25
And I have never seen anything like this.
02:27
I've never seen somebody come out of custody in this bad a shape.
02:31
They slept in the mud and on the dirt because they didn't have mattresses.
02:36
And they were given, for meals, they were given two pieces of moldy bread
02:41
and a frozen piece of ham for every meal.
02:44
They, their hair is covered in lice.
02:49
A lot of the adults have scabies.
02:51
And so many people have the flu to the point of needing hospitalization
02:56
because they're so dehydrated.
02:58
The Border Patrol is lying to everybody and to the public.
03:02
And for the president to sit there and say, well, if they don't like the conditions,
03:05
they just shouldn't come, that's not acceptable.
03:08
So that's not the answer.
03:10
I think this is one of those times where you either speak the truth
03:17
or you're going to go down in history on the wrong side.
03:21
And I don't want to be on the wrong side.
03:31
I don't want to be on the wrong side.
