Officers working for Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security initiative have been ordered to push small children and nursing babies back into the Rio Grande, and have been told not to give water to asylum seekers even in extreme heat, according to an email from a Department of Public Safety trooper who described the actions as “inhumane.”

That’s a fair point. I shouldn’t be surprised.
Unsurprisingly these days, Black Mirror did an episode that very much expands upon this.
Men Against Fire. My favorite episode behind San Junipero
