The non-profit should be lauded for attempting to save lives. The Border Patrol, unlikely to be lauded for anything these days due to their politicized function, is still performing the duties with which they are assigned: to patrol the boundary of their sovereign country and apprehend individuals who have crossed said boundary without permission from said country. It is hardly an American endeavor: the Mexican Border Patrol engages in the same activity ( http://www.msnbc.com/specials/migrant-crisis/mexico http://www.msnbc.com/specials/migrant-crisis/mexico ) though under less public scrutiny. According to this article (which desperately tries to avoid the "without permission" issue by calling these individuals migrants), four such individuals were apprehended. Which would imply that the "raid" was not simply harassment but part and parcel of the Border Patrol doing its job. The article's rather inflammatory title and tone attempts to paint the Border Patrol as villains here, though beyond quoting the non-profit's statement, fails to present a compelling case nor provides any suggestion for how the Border Patrol should conduct its duty.
