She had to be cut out of the wire and miscarried soon after.

    While it is indeed absolutely horrible and inhumane for everyone involved there… this is one shitty and biased article.

    It sounded like they were forced to walk into booby traps full or barbed wire or something. While in reality they took a risk and it didn’t work out.

        You don’t know what a booby trap is. In Texas, where this happens, barbwire is a passive barrier, and not subject to booby trap laws.

            The “hidden” claim is only by an anonymous witness reported by a bias source. Like even if the barbwire was hidden, what is the point of the article? That actually our border policy is fine, if only the barbwire fences were painted with high-vis?

      Not often you see someone defending deadly boobie traps because of, why, again? A made up line on a piece of paper signed off on by dead people?

      Or are you just a comma fucker who lives to obey the law?

        If he lived to obey the law he should look up Katko v. Briney. The case is notable for the proposition that, although a landowner has no duty to make his property safe for trespassers, he may not set deadly traps against them.

          Yea, fortunately barbwire IS NOT a booby trap and Katko v Briney wasn’t talking about barbwire.

      I mean, there were still razor wire booby traps in the water. Whether or not they were forced to cross is irrelevant, literal death traps hidden in the water is absolutely inhumane.

            It’s a dry river. But this is just a normal fence that cattlemen all over the state use to keep people out/off their ranches.

                Right, because a booby trap is illegal so you won’t see that anywhere, but barb-wire like this, is 100% legal and used all over the state.

                  “Booby trap” is a description of its concealedness. These are concealed, on purpose. That’s the issue.

                  Moreover, they’re not barbed wire, they’re razor wire. There’s a massive difference between barbed wire and razor wire.
