Texas Troopers Told to Push Children Into Rio Grande

“Officers working for Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security initiative have been ordered to push small children and nursing babies back into the Rio Grande, and have been told not to give water to asylum seekers even in extreme heat, according to an email from a Department of Public Safety trooper who described the actions as ‘inhumane,'” the Houston Chronicle reports.

“The July 3 account discloses several previously unreported incidents the trooper witnessed in Eagle Pass, where the state of Texas has strung miles of razor wire and deployed a wall of buoys in the Rio Grande.”

to remove tissue of these sizes from a woman's body and then gleefully enact policies that cause great harm to actual babies and children.

these so called "Christians" are mentality whacked and are extreme in their racism and hatred coupled with violent tendencies which manifests into psycho beliefs that they are doing Gawd's work.

Targets - immigrates, LGBTQIA, POC, women, rights, education, religions, etc.

Anyone who throws a child into water is responsible for that kid's safety.

Putting obstacles, including razor wire, into the water to trap people IS a murderer.
