Protesters take over Border Patrol museum, deface pictures of fallen agents

Dozens of demonstrators occupied and vandalized a privately owned U.S. Border Patrol museum near El Paso, Texas, over the weekend, according to the site's top official.

Museum director David Ham told the Washington Examiner his staff and guests worried for their safety Saturday when a group of about 50 rowdy protesters entered the facility, defaced property, and refused to leave the grounds.

"Say it loud, say it clear, Border Patrol kills!" group members standing inside and outside the facility yelled.

Security cameras set up outside the private museum captured protesters pulling into the parking lot and putting on face masks before going inside around 2:15 p.m. local time.

"That was really intimidating to our staff, plus their kind of aggressive attitude," said the museum official, a 31-year veteran of the Border Patrol. The museum is a nonprofit and apolitical.

Ham, who was not at the museum at the time of the incident, said he got a call from an "upset" staff member.

"We have cameras, and we saw them gathering in the parking lot. We saw them come in the museum, and she had called 911. I was able to watch the cameras on my cellphone. They came in after putting masks on," Ham told the Examiner in a phone call Monday.

"They proceeded to set up a bunch of signs and just went all over the museum. They of course had an agenda, they were chanting and singing songs, and then a couple of them got on a bullhorn," Ham said. "We had visitors in the museum. They started talking and kind of harassing them. Of course the staff was asking them to leave, and they wouldn’t leave."

I hope someone took plenty of video. America needs to see this and decide which side they come down on.

This is... nothing short of... war.

It's time to recognize "the other side" for who they are... the ENEMY.

In time, they will have to be confronted as such.

One thing is certain - they'll keep pushing until they meet resistance.

Sadly missing from this story is the part where bond hearings are being scheduled for 50 jailed individuals charged with criminal trespassing, vandalism, assault, and destruction of property.

I reluctantly agree with that.

No info.  It's not in the story because no one was jailed.

PRO-OPEN BORDERS RADICALS Vandalize Border Patrol Museum
Feb 18, 2019


Pro-open borders protesters are known to be aggressive and very vocal but defacing a border patrol museum with pictures of fallen agents is as low as it gets.

El Paso, Texas was the sight of a protest last weekend that included dozens of open borders demonstrators standing inside and outside a Border Patrol museum yelling, “Say it loud, say it clear, Border Patrol kills!”.

The 50 protesters entered the museum, defaced it and refused to leave.

Visitors and employees were intimidated and harassed even though the museum is a nonprofit and apolitical.
