A new study shows undocumented immigrants are reporting higher numbers of abuses by U.S. border patrol guards along the border with Mexico. The “Culture of Cruelty” study from the Arizona humanitarian group No More Deaths cites 30,000 cases of human rights abuses in short-term immigration detention between 2008 and 2011. The allegations range from border agents denying food and water to detainees, deliberately separating families, and forcing immigrants to sign removal orders. The report concludes the border guards’ alleged abuses meet the international definition of torture.
