Border Patrol Chief: ‘A Few Bad Apples Are Not Representative of the Organization’
(CNSNews.com) - U.S. Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost told the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security on Thursday that she first heard about the “highly offensive and absolutely unacceptable posts†on a Border Patrol Facebook group that she was a member of on July 1 when it was first reported by the media.
During the Border Patrol oversight hearing, Subcommittee Chairwoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.) asked Provost to explain why she joined the Facebook group and when she chose to leave the group.
“Your initial press release to this story about the Facebook group for Border Patrol agents implied that you were surprised by the racist, vulgar content that it exposed, and subsequent reports, however, indicated you were a member of that group as recently as last November. Can you please explain why you initially joined the group and why and when you chose to leave the group,†the congresswoman said.
