This story received no coverage in the broken media, but local outlets reported on a Border Patrol agent who was charged with child sex trafficking and defrauding the Government. (We also covered the story on July 22, but it bears repeating.) One wonders how many immigrants he harassed, beat or set up before he was taken down. KVOA in Tucson has the story:
"A Border Patrol agent is facing more than a dozen felony charges related to child sex trafficking and fraud. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) conducted a long internal investigation, revealing disturbing evidence against Bart Yager.
Yager, 39, remains in custody after being linked to child sex trafficking and fraud. A grand jury has indicted him, and the Cochise County Attorney's Office is prosecuting the case.
In June, federal agents executed a search warrant at Yager's Willcox home. Ring camera footage obtained by Sierra Vista Live captured the moment. Yager was arrested after evidence tied him to fraud, child sex trafficking and other crimes.
The grand jury returned an indictment the following week, charging Yager with 17 counts related to child sex trafficking and pandering, along with two additional fraud charges. CBP's investigation began in September 2023, initially focusing on Yager's alleged misrepresentation of assignments and improper payments. During this investigation, evidence was found that he paid a minor for sex.
According to the indictment, Yager repeatedly engaged in sexual acts with a minor between July 2023 and February 2024, while the minor was between 15 and 17 years old. He also faces multiple counts for allegedly pressuring another person into prostitution." (our emphasis)
This, and not a field hand picking crops, is who should be a candidate for the El Salvadoran prison CECOT.
It's becoming clearer that the Border Patrol and especially its fellow DHS agency ICE don't look too carefully into the backgrounds of their recruits, as long as they demonstrate the Malignant Fascist regime's required capacity for cruelty and violence (see here, and here for example). ICE and the Border Patrol may even have enlisted members of the brownshirt street gang Proud Boys and the paramilitary fascist group Oath Keepers as auxiliary agents as their workforce ramps up under the Malignant Fascist's corrupt and criminal regime.
