Zuckerberg-Funded Groups Sue Border Patrol Over Del Rio ‘Whipping’Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 21 Dec 2021
A pro-migration advocacy group is suing the U.S. Border Patrol for supposedly abusing a Haitian migrant who was photographed while trying to dodge a horse-mounted border patrol officer.
The plaintiffs allege “physical abuse, racial discrimination, denial of basic necessities and medical treatment, and a complete failure to process asylum claims.”
A border patrol officer “lashed at [one Haitian migrant] with split reins,” according to the complaint. The complaint does not allege the border patrol officer actually lashed the migrant.
The lawsuit also challenges the legality of the Trump-era Title 42 immigration policy, which allows law enforcement officials to expel migrant family units from the country. Thousands of Haitian migrants have been flown back home by the federal government since August.
The lawsuit is being filed by groups that get funding from Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook profits.
According to a press release from Justice Action Center, Haitian Bridge Alliance’s Nicole Phillips is one of the attorneys on the case.
Haitian Bridge Alliance receives funding from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI). Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan are co-founders and co-CEOs of CZI. Their initiative “makes grants to organizations working in support of our missions in Science, Education, and Justice & Opportunity – as well as giving directed to our local community.”
CZI has awarded approximately $2.9 billion in grants to support institutions. Haitian Bridge Alliance is one of the groups that received funding grants from CZI.
