Catherine Herridge does amazing work. She really does. Which is why CBS fired her and stole her work. It's also why the Biden administration has targeted and harassed her.
But here she is, continuing to commit actual acts of journalism. This time, she's exposing the border agency (CBP) retaliated against DHS whistleblowers who said the agency didn't follow federal law for DNA collection of immigration violations.
Failing to do so, according to the whistleblowers, lead to the deaths of Americans.

But wait! There's more.
EXCLUSIVE: With the whistleblowers’ permission, we are releasing the internal government memo that found the border agency (CBP) “retaliated” against them after revealing "the agency’s intentional, decade-long failure to implement a law designed to protect public safety.”

The Border Agency is required to collect DNA samples from “non-United States persons in detention for immigration violations.”

The post continues:
This is an investigative tool that identifies violent crimes suspects and has solved cold cases.
And apparently the federal government has no interest in identifying suspects of violent crimes or solving cold cases.
Since 2021, under the Biden/Harris administration, Homeland Security’s own data reports more than 10 million border encounters.

The post continues:
“We know for a fact that not every individual who crosses the border illegally into the United States goes on to commit violent acts. But given the number, even a very small percentage results in a definite increase in crime within the United States.” - Whistleblower Fred Wynn.
And these numbers will blow your mind (and make you angry):
As many as 950,000 violent criminals have gone unidentified and, in some cases, nearly 70% of border encounters did not collect DNA according to recent data and whistleblower disclosures.@ChuckGrassley https://t.co/riqc3mgefm

Almost a million violent criminals.
Absolutely insane.
Herridge's work gets noticed:
things must change. what abuse of power!
— Linda Yaccarino (@lindayaX) August 11, 2024
It's an absolute abuse of power, and gross negligence that has gotten Americans killed.
Thank you Linda!

Grateful for X where we can launch investigative projects without fear of censorship.
X has its issues, but at least Herridge has an outlet for her work.
I’m speechless. Thank you for sharing this and the work you do.

The brazenness renders us speechless. The fact the government is rotten and corrupt does not surprise us, alas.
Additionally, Biden-Harris-Hamas Admin canceled the 5 year contract the Trump Admin undertook for rapid DNA testing of CHILDREN coming over the border to ensure they are not being trafficked! How many children's lives have been destroyed?https://t.co/eD6Z6CADpt

The Left simply argued mean old Trump was splitting up 'families.' They don't care about those kids.
It’s shameful how whistleblowers are usually treated. It shouldn’t be too much for them to expose they could expose a violation of law without putting a target on their backs.
— Tristan Leavitt (@tristanleavitt) August 11, 2024
There are whistleblower protections, but since the government has no interest in following the DNA collection laws, why would they adhere to those protections?
Border czar, Kamala Harris, has blood on her hands.

Yes, she does.
Amazing reporting here https://t.co/IWz0890Ath

This is what journalism should be.
Imagine of more reporters did this.
Masterclass in investigative journalism. https://t.co/ouXBFgUtqE
— Michael Shellenberger (@shellenberger) August 12, 2024
Should be taught in every journo school in the country.
More good investigative journalism by Catherine Herridge.

Unfortunately, federal agencies violate whistleblower protection laws with impunity.
They need to held accountable. https://t.co/AHpQieV2Nq
Well, Senator, you and your colleagues are in a position to do that.
No wonder @CBS let Catherine go - she’s an actual journalist, not a mouthpiece for the dems. https://t.co/GKE2V4swph
