MSNBC: Investigation of Secret Border Patrol Group Launched as New Degrading Facebook Posts Surface

‘Hateful social media posts are not allowed if you are a law enforcement officer or public official in this way’

EXCERPT:

VELSHI: "All right, a secret Facebook group exposed that current and former Border Patrol agents, 'joked about the deaths of migrants, discussed throwing burritos at Latin members of Congress visiting a detention facility in Texas on Monday and posted a vulgar illustration of representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.' That’s according to screenshots of the Facebook group obtained by ProPublica, which is a nonprofit news organization. We should vote NBC News has not independently verified this Facebook group and has not seen the posts ourselves. Officials are investigating this secret group. And joining me now with the latest on this is NBC's Brandy Zadrozny, who's been closely monitoring this story. Brandy, we've seen what ProPublica purports are some of these posts."
