US officials are investigating a secret Facebook group where border patrol members allegedly posted racist and sexist jokes about migrants.
The private group was called "I'm 10-15" and had about 9,500 members, including former and current border patrol agents, ProPublica reported.
Some posts mocked migrant deaths, while others targeted Latino members of Congress, ProPublica said.
The Border Patrol chief has called the posts "completely inappropriate".
"Any employees found to have violated our standards of conduct will be held accountable," Carla Provost said.

"Secret Facebook Group"... LOL.
If you want to be secret squirrel, don't put stupid shit on the internet. You know. A public repository of not secrets.
This could be legitimate, and the perpetrators deserve consequences.
But in this day and age, there is a distinct possibility that this is a false flag conducted by those who would like to further a narrative.
So let's let the facts come out, and go from there.

Sorry but I don't see the "so what" factor here. Have any Border Patrol agents been tied to this group and/or it's posts? Or is this just incomplete reporting being pushed out to make people think the Border Patrol is full of heartless/racist people?
Here's the key piece of information which should have prevented this article from getting published due to the fact it is incomplete and unsubstantiated: "The BBC was not able to independently verify the existence of the private group, which is not publicly accessible on Facebook."
