How Facebook is fueling the border crisis by failing to close down dozens of groups offering passage into the US for as little as $1,700 and showcasing glowing testimonials
2021-06-12
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Dozens of Facebook groups openly offer illegal crossings, posting prices, routes and testimonials from what they claim to be happy customers

  • The Tech Transparency Project (TTP) said in a damning report Facebook has become a 'one stop shop' for coyotes and dangerous cartels

  • TTP revealed it had handed over details about 50 human smuggler Facebook pages in April to Facebook - 19 still remain on the platform

  • Many groups - some with tens of thousands of members - make no effort to disguise their services, with names like 'Travel to the US, fulfill your dream'

  • In one post on the 'El coyote lopez' page, a smuggler advertises travel from Nicaragua into the US for $8,000 per person

  • The groups are also said to have ties to dangerous Mexican cartels

  • At least 128 migrants have died attempting to reach the US so far in 2021

Doesn't Criminal facilitation and complacency make
Facebook vulnerable to being charged under the RICO ACT?

There are 35 clearly defined RICO ACT covered crimes.

Of which include Human Trafficking, Drug trafficking, Slavery and others.
