Customs and Border Protection targeted US citizens, including journalists and attorneys, during the Trump administration as it monitored migrant caravans traveling through Mexico, according to a new Department of Homeland Security Inspector General report.
As part of its response to the caravan, the agency conducted unnecessary inspections, improperly shared sensitive information of US citizens with Mexico and made inappropriate requests to deny international travel, the watchdog found.
The report looks back at 2018 when thousands of migrants gathered and traveled from Central America through Mexico seeking to enter the US, a migration movement known as the "migrant caravan." CBP was concerned that members of the migrant caravan could overwhelm CBP's resources and hinder its ability to process the legitimate flow of trade and travel.

As lawmakers demand answers over reports that the US military carried out a follow-up strike that killed survivors during an attacked on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean, a career Navy SEAL who has spent most of his 30 years of military experience in special operations will be responsible for providing them.
