     @gdeihl
     That is truly sickening to read. Giving orders to deny migrants water in extreme heat, pushing children into the Rio Grande river, and putting razor wire in the river to harm people who cross it - if this isn't considered "inhumane" then I don't know what is.

     I'd like to share this short video made by my friends @bigworldsmallsasha and @sober_pirate called "Prison earth", as its becoming more relevant these days - https://videos.trom.tf/w/jrLmgWLj9nWsdXc4j438cU

     @futureisfoss The email, which the Guardian independently reviewed, gives a report of weekly events from 24 June to 1 July, detailing several cases of migrants being caught or injured by barbed wire in Eagle Pass...Wingate calls for several policy changes to prevent further injury to migrants, including removing barrels wrapped in razor wire in the river. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jul/18/texas-troopers-inhumane-migrants-greg-abbott-border-initiative
