Arizona AG: Facebook assists in human smuggling

[Admin Dee]

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich is claiming Facebook admits it is aiding human smuggling.

He wants U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate.

The company denies it is letting cartel operations use its website to connect with those trying to get into this country illegally. But a company official does concede that it does “allow people to share information about how to enter a country illegally or request information about how to be smuggled.’’

William Castleberry, the company’s vice president of state policy, said that’s far different. He said in a letter to Brnovich that the policy draws a line between the business of human smuggling and “interfering with people’s ability to exercise their right to seek asylum, which is recognized in international law.’’

 

Brnovich told Capitol Media Services as far as he’s concerned, the company is facilitating the illegal entry of people into the United States. That, he said, is a crime.
