EL PASO, TX — An American woman was humiliated and sexually assaulted for hours when she tried to re-enter the United States at a checkpoint manned by U.S. border patrol agents. Suspecting she had drugs inside her orifices, the federal agents detained her, chained her to a table, and subjected her to a series of invasive and traumatic cavity searches, finger penetration, scans and X-rays… all without a warrant. She was then billed for the “services.”
“The agents ran their fingers over her genitalia and checked inside of her pants. She was asked to undress. She was asked to squat and the agents peered into her cavities with flashlights and pressed their fingers into her genitalia,” said Laura S. Ives, ACLU.
She was detained, transported to a hospital and put through several hours of humiliating cavity searches, including forced defecation, multiple penetrations with fingers and instruments, X-rays, and a full abdominal CT scan. She was then billed $5,000 for the "services."
The victim felt “that she was being treated less than human, like an animal.”
I wish I could say this is unbelievable.
