Three former officials with the Biden administration, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to share operational details, said [Border Patrol Chief Agent Gregory] Bovino “went rogue” with the January raid. No higher-ups knew about the operation before watching it unspool, two of the former officials said.

Instead, said one, it seemed to be a play by some Border Patrol agents, on the eve of President Trump’s return to office, to “show that there was a new boss coming and that that’s where their loyalties lay.”

...

Advocates on the scene, meanwhile, said the operation indiscriminately targeted Latino farmworkers commuting from the fields along California Route 99 and day laborers soliciting work in the parking lots of big box stores. They estimate close to 200 people were detained.

These people were treated like slaves, paid virtually nothing and they have to work all day, now they have to fear for their safety even more simply going to their horrible "jobs"? If only empathy was the biggest requirement for hiring people in border management and policing

And zero punishment was given to the people who were hiring them.
