Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has come out of her recent tour at a border patrol detention facility in Texas with a series of new allegations on the treatment of illegal immigrants. Agents have now responded to her claims.
The freshman congresswoman made the allegations in a social media post on July 1 after visiting a facility in El Paso, where she said, “Officers were keeping women in cells w/ no water & had told them to drink out of the toilets.”
