Border Patrol is the Problem. It Always Has Been. (since 1924)

The agency was meant to be right at the border and their jurisdiction grew.

It is reported they have always been this violent and willfully murder people at the border.
All this has been hidden until trump brought it into mainstream America.

It needs to be abolished and reinvented.
