"Disturbing photos show the aftermath of the raid at Byrd Camp. Last night Border Patrol and BORTAC arrested people receiving care and ransacked the humanitarian aid station, ripping apart tents and destroying medical supplies. In an attempt to suppress documentation of the military style raid, Border Patrol seized the cell phones volunteers used to document the violence. This morning during clean up, volunteers also saw that agents had disconnected the power to the well, the only water source on the property of the remote desert camp." -- No More Deaths

"This rule is implicit in common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, which requires that the wounded and sick be collected and cared for, because the protection of medical personnel is a subsidiary form of protection granted to ensure that the wounded and sick receive medical care.[10] The rule that medical personnel must be respected and protected is explicitly stated in Additional Protocol II.[11] In addition, under the Statute of the International Criminal Court, intentionally directing attacks against
personnel using the distinctive emblems of the Geneva Conventions in conformity with international law constitutes a war crime in non-international armed conflicts.[12] In addition, this rule is contained in other instruments pertaining also to non-international armed conflicts.[13]"
Looks like the BORTAC actions are illegal on the world stage, and against the United States which supports the Geneva Convention mandates.

Herr Trump is aggressively pushing us toward the point of "by any means necessary."
Pitchforks are readily available at most home centers, and guillotines are relatively simple to build. Just saying.
