DHS Chief Napolitano Launches Investigation Into Border Patrol Agents For Profiling Muslims…or We only tolerate this behavoir when it’s done against White America
The U.S. government has launched an investigation into allegations that federal agents at several U.S.-Canada border crossings in Michigan repeatedly harassed, jailed and body searched Muslims because of their background or appearance.
In a letter sent this week to a local Muslim group, Margo Schlanger, the head of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties in the Department of Homeland Security, said her office has received accounts of “repeated handcuffing, brandishing of weapons, prolonged detentions, invasive and humiliating body searches at the border, and inappropriate questioning that pertains to religion and religious practices.”
The complaints include incidents at the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit and the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron.
The investigation comes in response to complaints filed in March by the Council on American-Islamic Relations with the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security.
The council said it was concerned that agents were even asking people about their prayer schedules.

But yet, it’s perfectly okay when TSA does this exact same thing to our own citizens. On the plus side, at least we’ll know who to blame the next time a terrorist gets into the country due to our border agents being unable to prevent it without being labled an Islampophobe.
