CBP Sent 12 Letters of Reprimand for Facebook Misconduct
Documents reviewed by the Committee show that of the 12 letters of reprimand, ten were the result of reductions in discipline, including one proposed removal and nine proposed suspensions.
In one example, Border Patrol Agent #8 received a letter of reprimand for posting comments disregarding migrants' lives. In a discussion among Border Patrol agents about stocking the Rio Grande River with alligators and sharks to prevent migrants from entering the United States, Border Patrol Agent #8 posted, "Do the gators have CBP serial numbers on them for inventory purposes?" The Discipline Review Board recommended a 30-day suspension. The deciding official reduced the discipline to a letter of reprimand.
