Inspired by fellow whistleblower Zachary Apotheker, featured in \u201cLine in the Sand,\u201d Veckey brings OMG onsite to his Customs and Border Protection patrol station in Ajo, Arizona, to reveal the disturbing truth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere I first saw it [human rights violations] was here, underneath that canopy there,\u201d Veckey shares. \u201cIt was just men, women, and children\u2026 They were freezing. It was at least 40 degrees.\u201d He describes another instance of extreme conditions, adding, \u201cYou got 50 Muslims, 50 Sikhs, 50 Christians, 50 whatever, and they\u2019re fighting over shade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they have a thousand bodies for us, as fast as they can bring us bodies, we pick them up as fast and we push them all into this parking lot.\u201d He adds, \u201cThey have pushed us around through fear, through browbeating us. They\u2019ve ordered us to do stuff,\u201d highlighting how U.S. Border Patrol agents are often forced between cartel operations and bureaucratic pressure to keep quiet.<\/p>\n<p>Bringing these atrocities to the attention of the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), Veckey filed reports detailing the violations, only to be met with a cease and desist letter, ordering him to stay silent. Despite being ordered to remain silent, Veckey is sacrificing his future for justice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-twitter-extracted-i1727789745352995286=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BREAKING: Second Border Patrol Agent BLOWS WHISTLE on Border Crisis: \u2018My Conscience Will Be Clean, That\u2019s Way More Important Than My Pension\u2019<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The cartels run the border down here,\u201d says Aaron Veckey, a United States Border Patrol agent with 19 years of service, stepping forward\u2026\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yAlyerSJGb\">pic.twitter.com\/yAlyerSJGb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 James O&#8217;Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JamesOKeefeIII\/status\/1840892776558231803?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 30, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>See attached Aaron Veckey\u2019s formal Government Wrongdoing Disclosure and the cease and desist he received from U.S. Customs and Border Protection:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\" data-twitter-extracted-i1727789745352995286=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">See attached Aaron Veckey&#8217;s formal Government Wrongdoing Disclosure and the cease and desist he received from U.S. Customs and Border Protection:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KtoeDd3MmP\">pic.twitter.com\/KtoeDd3MmP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 James O&#8217;Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JamesOKeefeIII\/status\/1840927941066154233?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 1, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<p>READ HERE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2024\/10\/omg-second-border-patrol-agent-blows-whistle-border\/\">https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2024\/10\/omg-second-border-patrol-agent-blows-whistle-border\/<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-254534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=254534"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254534\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=254534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=254534"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=254534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
