Texas' Operation Lone Star, aimed at curbing unlawful migration, has led to an increase in allegations of excessive use of force and human rights violations by law enforcement, according to a new report.
The document, by the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) says the situation has deteriorated to an extent that federal intervention is necessary. To back its claim, it describes a "troubling new pattern of force" and lists reported incidents of abuse, as well as the fact that it sets a "dangerous precedent for U.S. Civil-Military relations."
