The National Border Patrol Council, the union
representing Border Patrol agents across the country, is featured in a
new video that includes far-right anti-Islamists and other extremists.
The video, titled “Killing Free Speech,” was endorsed by the union and recently shown by agents at a private screening
in San Diego. The video is also expected to be shown in Texas, Los
Angeles, and Washington, D.C., according to union representative Terence
Shigg, president of the San Diego chapter of the NBPC.
The nearly hour-and-half-long video refers to Democrats as “dark and
evil” and features a bevy of American and European far-right,
anti-Muslim white nationalists who make a correlation between gang
rapes, Islam, and immigration. The documentary also features members of
the Proud Boys,
a hate group designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center, that often
aligns with white nationalists and are known for being misogynists and
anti-Muslim. The Proud Boys participated in the deadly “Unite the Right”
rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and in mid-October several members
of the Proud Boys were arrested in New York City after a violent street confrontation with anti-fascists.
