EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) is demanding answers from the Customs and Border Protection commissioner after reports of “maltreatment” of veterans.
In a letter sent to Commissioner Troy Miller on Monday, obtained exclusively by the Washington Examiner, Mills wrote that he is concerned military service members are not receiving the same support and resources compared to regular Border Patrol employees with substance problems or criminal history backgrounds.
“There have been concerning reports of maltreatment of veterans within your department, and as a veteran, I’m very interested in identifying and eliminating any discriminatory practices or the perception of maltreatment,” Mills said in the letter.
