Judge David C. Bury sanctions Border Patrol over destroying evidence. by Bob Cummins, 6th Period

      Judge David C. Bury sanctioned the U.S. Border Patrol after an advocacy group filed a lawsuit for 3 immigrants who claimed that the Border Patrol's sector in Tucson is inhumane to immigrants and holds them in dirty and cold cells for extended time periods.  The Border Patrol at that sector destroyed video tapes of the facility and it "was certainly willful."  The tapes destroyed were made before August 14, near the time when Bury requested a tour of the facility..  They now have to bring forth all the existing video recordings made from June 10 to the present.  The Border Patrol has left no comment.

     This is an example of the lack of respect Americans can show to immigrants even on American soil.  This has happened to many groups in American history, most recently Mexican people and other Central and South American peoples.  With these issues now being brought up by Donald Trump about border security, news like this is more prominent.  It shows that there is much room for improvement in the way immigrants are treated by national security.

  1. I've never understood why america has hated immigrants so much, and the excuses that they say have no background, like'' they're taking our jobs!'' you can't deny them a good standard to living here. Most immigrants come from towns where theres not enough food and the mafia and govt have set up. Stories like this just disgust me
