from the moral-turpitude-is-my-middle-name<\/i> dept<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m not right here to kink disgrace or recommend intercourse work isn\u2019t work. I\u2019m not right here to say that each intercourse employee is a sufferer of intercourse trafficking. I\u2019m not even right here to recommend that authorities officers shouldn\u2019t be allowed to alternate cash for items and sexual providers. In the event that they\u2019re not on the clock, I\u2019m not right here to guage their off-duty actions.<\/p>\n

The issue right here is that this particular person \u2014 the nationwide chief of the Border Patrol \u2014 apparently insisted on making everybody conscious of his off-duty actions. These actions apparently included intercourse tourism. And it\u2019s positively not an ideal look when the locations you\u2019re bragging about are extraordinarily problematic \u2014 the type of locations the place intercourse trafficking is widespread and often frequented by folks searching for stuff that positively isn\u2019t authorized of their residence nations.<\/p>\n

The Washington Instances \u2014 which is mostly very pro-conservative \u2014 first broke the news about national Border Patrol chief Michael Banks<\/a> and his alleged fondness for abroad intercourse staff. <\/p>\n

\n

Banks \u201cbragged\u201d to colleagues whereas in his earlier administration function at\u00a0Border Patrol<\/a>\u00a0about paying for intercourse with prostitutes whereas touring in Colombia and Thailand over the course of a decade.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Colombia has lengthy been perceived to be underneath the management of drug cartels \u2014 the type of factor that implies quite a lot of intercourse work isn\u2019t essentially consensual. On prime of that, it\u2019s hardly the type of place somebody in a management place within the Border Patrol needs to be visiting for non-work-related causes. That alone creates an \u201clook of impropriety\u201d that individuals smarter than Chief Banks would do properly to keep away from.<\/p>\n

Thailand also<\/em> has a reputation<\/a> relating to intercourse work\u2026 and it\u2019s the type that ought to encourage folks in authorities positions to steer far away from it, even throughout their off-duty hours. <\/p>\n

So, when a man begins bragging about paying for intercourse in Colombia and Thailand, sure assumptions are made. And even when these assumptions are simply assumptions, it\u2019s not possible to keep away from the uncomfortable truth that somebody ostensibly within the enterprise of deterring intercourse trafficking is spending his money and time in locations the place it\u2019s more likely to fund intercourse trafficking. <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHe would inform those that\u2019s why he was happening these journeys \u2014 he would go there to have interaction in actions with prostitutes,\u201d a second particular person stated. \u201cSo I feel these tales are out in all places, and you may\u2019t put them away or not give it consideration as a result of he was the one telling folks about these journeys.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIn our line of labor, a part of what we do is attempt to fight the trafficking of females, that’s a part of our job,\u201d the identical particular person stated. \u201cIt\u2019s counter to what we do or what we needs to be standing for. Should you\u2019re partaking in these actions, you\u2019re supporting the trafficking and exploitation of girls.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The bragging Banks did drew the eye of Border Patrol oversight. Based on the knowledge supplied to the Washington Instances, Banks had truly been investigated greater than as soon as for his intercourse tourism. <\/p>\n

However the second investigation into Banks and his intercourse tourism notably got here to halt as soon as Donald Trump returned to workplace and appointed certainly one of his MAGA loyalists to move the DHS: <\/p>\n

\n

[T]he investigation ended abruptly whereas\u00a0Homeland Security<\/a>\u00a0Secretary\u00a0Kristi Noem<\/a>\u00a0was in workplace, resulting in extra questions.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And whereas there are all the time going to be individuals who will say that is nothing greater than a handful of nameless assertions, Banks\u2019 actions speak louder than these unattributed words:<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n

U.S. Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks abruptly resigned Thursday,\u00a0telling Fox News<\/a>, \u201cIt\u2019s simply time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Banks reportedly advised Fox Information that he \u201cacquired the ship again heading in the right direction\u201d throughout his tenure.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hmm. These don\u2019t appear to be the actions of somebody who believes they\u2019ve been wrongly accused by their subordinates. These are the actions of somebody who needs to be gone earlier than extra info involves gentle. In any case, the final<\/em> time Banks resigned was as a result of his disagreed with President Biden\u2019s border insurance policies. Trump\u2019s return to workplace resulted in Banks being appointed to his former place \u2014 one that he’s now abandoning and it can not presumably be for a similar causes he exited workplace the first<\/em> time. <\/p>\n

Regardless of the cloud hanging over his head, the Trump administration has lionized his truncated second act, making it seem as if it might be greater than prepared to erect a statue of Banks being blown by underage Thai intercourse staff to honor his second coming as national Border Patrol chief<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u201cWe thank U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks for his many years of service to this nation and congratulate him on his second retirement after returning to serve throughout some of the difficult intervals for border safety,\u201d stated U.S. Customs & Border Safety Commissioner Rodney Scott in an announcement.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Think about being applauded for quitting twice. That\u2019s the Trump meritocracy in motion. Banks deserted the job as soon as as a result of it conflicted together with his bigoted \u201cideas.\u201d He\u2019s leaving for a second time as a result of he doesn\u2019t truly seem to have something that might be thought of \u201cideas.\u201d The CBP assertion needs Banks and his household properly, however I can solely think about there are 1,000,000 locations Banks would reasonably be than again at residence together with his household. Assuming his visa continues to be legitimate, he\u2019ll in all probability search \u201cconsolation\u201d abroad as quickly as doable. <\/p>\n
