Border Patrol Blabs Minutemen Locations to Mexico

(Los Angeles) To assure that illegal aliens' rights are not violated, the U.S. Border Patrol discloses to the Mexican government all the locations where the border is subjected to enhanced monitoring by the Minutemen.

From SacBee.com:
The U.S. Border Patrol is alerting the Mexican government to the locations of civilian border patrol groups when the organizations help detain suspected illegal immigrants or use violence against them, according to a published report.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Mario Martinez told the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin of Ontario that the policy is meant to assure the Mexican government that migrants' rights are being observed.
Presumably, the Mexican government then notifies the affected human traffickers to avoid the identified locations and to use alternate smuggling routes into the U.S. Yes, I'm assuming the Mexican government officials are corrupt and working with the smugglers. It would be a mistake to do otherwise.

In my opinion, these actions by the U.S. Border Patrol are intelligence-gathering functions being performed for the Mexican government against American citizens. That's not dereliction nor abdication of responsibility, that's treason.
