Immigrant advocates are complaining about U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers' actions toward residents along the U.S.-Mexico border in El Paso and New Mexico.
A coalition of advocacy groups said Tuesday that they filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security saying at least 13 residents have experienced abuse, including that officers falsely accused them of being prostitutes and seized their legal documents for no reason.
The complaint says the officers have harassed border crossers who have legal documents and threatened retaliation when the residents promised to file complaints.
