This weekend, deep inside the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, our all-women humanitarian search team faced something we should never have to face:
an armed Border Patrol agent stalking, tracking, and invading the campsite of unarmed women at 2:00 a.m. 😡🌑
Our crew had all required permits for the refuge. But that didn’t stop Agent Lovlin from tracking our footprints through the dark like a predator.
Border Patrol is trained to read sign:
👣 They know the difference between men and women.
👣 They know trekking-pole tracks vs. migrant footprints.
👣 They know what high-end hiking boots look like.
👣 They know the direction, pace, and origin of every track they follow.
The BP Predator Agent Lovlin knew damn well who he was following.
At 2:00 a.m., he left his vehicle, followed our tracks, and approached our sleeping camp of women. Alone. Armed. In total darkness. 🌑⚠️
He was told repeatedly we were unarmed U.S. citizens with valid permits.
He ignored it.
He entered our camp...
