President Donald Trump’s depiction of women gagged with tape at the border as part of a human trafficking ring has become a cornerstone of his immigration speeches in recent weeks.

However, soon after the Washington Post questioned where he got that information, acting Border Patrol Assistant Chief Armando Sianez asked agents if they had any evidence to backup Trump’s claims, according to an email obtained by Vox.

The email asked for replies in under two hours and linked to the Washington Post story.

One border patrol source told Vox that he or she hadn’t heard of anyone who had fitting proof to share.

  1. Kidnapped, bound and gagged, duct taped women are less of a problem at the border than at many isolated cabins and trailer homes in rural areas throught the nation.

  2. Attempt to induce public panic with lurid, graphic descriptions first. Find actual evidence second. Path to victory!

  3. Maybe he saw something like this in one of Stormy’s “educational” films???

  4. I think something should be done with the vicious cartels that take young children away from their parents and hold them indefinitely in a spartan, caged existence devoid of any parental love and guidance. That’s what we should do something about.
