Washington, July 18 (RHC)-- After a year-long investigation, U.S. Customs and Border Protection says it has fired four employees — and suspended dozens more without pay — over their participation in a Facebook group filled with racist, homophobic and misogynistic content. 

In one post, a photoshopped image depicted Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being sexually assaulted by President Trump. 

In another thread, members of the group made fun of a video of an immigrant man trying to carry a child through a raging river in a plastic bag.  One group member commented: “At least it’s already in a trash bag.”
