These are human rights abuses, plain and simple. Cruel, inhumane, and a violation of domestic and international law. This needs a course correction and the issuance of a clear directive on how to humanely process asylums seekers at our border.

.@CBP is whipping Haitian refugees seeking asylum.😳 This is both grotesquely inhumane & also illegal. Seeking asylum is a human right. It is accomplished by crossing the border and asking for asylum. Blocking asylum seekers violates American law.

They are not seeking asylum. They are seeking a better life. That needs to happen back in Haiti not here.

No they are law enforcement officers doing their job.. You should be asking Who is responsible for transporting these people from Haiti to the southern boarder of the U.S. but you probably already know... You work for him....

Are whips standard issue items for Border Patrol agents? Do they take courses to get certified in whipping fellow human beings?
