“To anyone out there who’s working in this system, understand you abuse immigrants, you physically abuse immigrants, you sexually abuse immigrants, you fail to get them medical care that they need, you break the law of the United States of America and Donald Trump may be willing to look the other way, but President Elizabeth Warren will not,” she said.
She also said that we need to treat those who come to the U.S. "with humanity and we need to follow the law."
Warren this week unveiled her immigration plan which included designating a Justice Department task force to investigate accusations of medical neglect and physical and sexual assault and "give it independent authority to pursue any substantiated criminal allegations."
"Let there be no ambiguity on this: if you are violating the basic rights of immigrants, now or in the future, a Warren administration will hold you accountable," she wrote in a Medium post.
Warren is among two dozen people seeking the 2020 presidential nomination.

Am Border Patrol... Bring it. Get rid of the fucks fucking shit up and let the rest of us do our jobs without their attitudes. Most of us are doing the best we can with what we have. At my station agents are buying children's Tylenol, diapers and formula and stuff with their own money, though it's taken care of now. The ibuprofen really irks me. The insurance we use does not cover OTC meds, so even if ibuprofen is prescribed as an anti-inflammatory they don't get it, so we went out and got it ourselves. Not all of us are racist fucks, and those guys should be held accountable. I cannot imagine the shit going down in Texas, telling people to drink out of toilets, wtf. We have 5 gallon jugs that get refreshed every shift, or more often if needed. No showers? We used to bus them to a local hotel for showers before we built one in our sally port.

If we weren't the so-called leaders of the free world, the United Nations would be demanding accountability from our country for all the human rights violations this administration is committing.
