I had posted this a few weeks ago about something similar...

I don't know how I missed this one, but I am just truly stunned. Take a look at this from the Southern Poverty Law Center's website:

Julie Kirchner, the former executive director of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), has been named chief of staff at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the largest federal law enforcement agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

FAIR is a known hate group...

Be very vigilant for denial of civil rights and liberties, intimidation, etc at border crossings. Document it all.

Unreal. And very real. All at the same time.
