WATCH: Biden Bureaucrat Tells Cruz to 'Respect the People' and Not Film Border Patrol Facilities

Video by Sen Ted Cruz of immigrant children laying on ground, cramped together in facility. Biden representative tried to halt him.

(From article 03/28/21) Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Sunday released a video he captured in the Donna Border Patrol facility, where thousands of unaccompanied minors are being housed. As he attempted to film the deplorable conditions the children are living in, a bureaucrat from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) repeatedly blocked Cruz's camera saying "Please respect the people, Please give dignity to the people," she said.

Cruz replied, "You've been instructed to ask us not to take pictures here because the political leadership at DHS does not want the American people to know it." Cruz replied. He panned the camera to show kids in mylar blankets on the concrete floor. "You keep standing in front of the pictures so you don't want the pictures taken. The rules are arbitrary and they're designed to keep the American people in the dark."

The senator pointed out that there is no "dignity and respect" when unaccompanied minors are sleeping on the floor in crowded Border Patrol stations in the middle of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic.
