Investigate Texas for abusing asylum-seekers' human rights
The situation at the Texas border has reached a dangerous low with the Texas Department of Public Safety’s deployment of miles of razor wire along the shores of the Rio Grande. These obstacles, designed to cause injury and even death, are a clear manifestation of a government that chooses cruelty over compassion.
Emails have surfaced exposing the cruel orders given to state troopers, including directives to "push small children and nursing babies back into the Rio Grande." Heart-rending tales of suffering have emerged, such as a 4-year-old girl passing out from heat exhaustion and a pregnant woman miscarrying after becoming entangled in the wire.
The Texas state troopers’ actions are not isolated incidents but rather the result of a systematic approach to immigration that prioritizes deterrence over human dignity and suffering. The Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy set a precedent for harsh treatment, and Texas’ current leaders have continued down this path.
