Current and past immigration officials have come out to reject a series of accusations made by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), where she claims illegal immigrants are subjected to “inhumane” treatment and are told to “drink out of the toilets.”
Following a high-profile visit at several border facilities in Texas on July 1, Ocasio-Cortez has made a number of accusations about the condition of the detention facilities and its detainees. The most disturbing of them all was a claim that the detainees were forced to drink out of a toilet bowl.
