Testimonials of migrants who approached the border between the United States and Mexico indicate mistreatment and aggressiveness on the part of the police authorities. According to what they denounced in a public testimony, security forces attack them with pepper spray when they see them approaching. In response, the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) distanced itself from the issue and assured that these are actions of the Texas National Guard.
For a long time, the border is a point of conflict and very great attention within the United States. While thousands of undocumented migrants seek to enter the territory illegally. Given this, the federal government and state administrations are promoting different measures. One of the most controversial approaches is that of Texasa state that under the administration of Greg Abbott is usually very harsh on this issue.
Recently, Migrants claim to have suffered mistreatment and attacks by the security forces at the border. According to several undocumented immigrants in dialogue with Telemundo, They are afraid to approach the border as they say they will be attacked with rubber bullets and pepper spray.. Particularly, the testimonies collected occurred in the area of El Paso, Texas.
Along the same lines, the claim is that there is not even consideration for groups in which there are children or pregnant women and that shots are fired in any way to try to keep them away from the border, even if they are on the Mexican side. When the aforementioned medium was consulted, CBP disassociated itself from responsibility for these events and referred it to the Texas National Guard and El Paso police.. For the moment, the Texas entities did not respond to the questions or refer to the issue.
