Against the Wall author and border enforcer-turned human rights activist Jenn Budd helps understand newly obtained FOIA records showing CBP is the second-largest contributor to the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (NLEAD).
We discuss the gaps between the FOIA records and CBP OPR’s self-reported arrest data. We then dive deep on Jenn’s open-source reporting to show how CBP and the criminal punishment system are privately advancing an abolitionist horizon.
If the justice system truly believes former agents who plead guilty to molesting their children over a period of years don’t belong in prison or on sex offender registry, as Jenn reveals happened a couple weeks ago in Pima County, Arizona, does anyone?
Finally, Jenn and I explore what the system’s allergy to accountability and public reporting portends for the future.
