(Hill) An American Muslim advocacy group urged lawmakers to demand answers regarding a ProPublica investigation published Monday that found Border Patrol agents making racist and sexist postings in a private Facebook group.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said in a press release Tuesday that members rallied outside the state office of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, demanding hearings into the Facebook group known as “I’m 10-15,” a 9,500-member group that reportedly includes some current and former agents.
The Oversight committee announced earlier Tuesday that it would hold a hearing next week on the treatment of migrant children in the Trump administration’s custody, which will reportedly also touch on this issue.
