SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection has announced intentions to do away with its controversial Critical Incident Response Teams.
The CIRTs have also been referred to as “shadow units” by some groups, including the Southern Border Communities Coalition, which called on Congress to investigate them.
SBCC says it discovered numerous instances where members of CIRTs, or CITs, have tampered, destroyed or hid evidence to deflect responsibility and liability away from CBP agents and officers involved in criminal and civil rights investigations.
